sg_miter_skip(9)

🎀 sg_miter_skip(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, you're reading the sg_miter_skip(9) page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little cutie. short, sweet, does one thing. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

sg_miter_skip — reposition that mapping iterator, periodt

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool sg_miter_skip (struct sg_mapping_iter *miter , off_t offset );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• miter — the sg mapping iter that's getting skipped. yeah. that one. 🫶
• offset — number of bytes to plus the current location. yes it literally says "plus" — it's added on top of wherever you already are 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what it does is: it sets the offset of miter to its current location plus offset bytes. that's the whole vibe ✨

and like, heads up — if the mapping iterator miter has been proceeded by sg_miter_next, this stops miter. no cap, that's important. 😭

✨ CONTEXT ✨

Don't care. literally. that's what it says. main character energy of "not my problem" 💀

✨ RETURN ✨

• true — if miter contains the valid mapping 👑
• false — if end of sg list is reached 🌸
