sg_miter_start(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to sg_miter_start(9) — this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about starting a mapping iterator. no cap, that's the whole plot. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sg_miter_start — start mapping iteration over a sg list. literally the function's whole job, and it ate. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, copied exactly so nobody comes for me:

void sg_miter_start (struct sg_mapping_iter *miter , struct scatterlist
       *sgl , unsigned int nents , unsigned int flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• miter — the sg mapping iter to be started. that's the little iterator baddie we're waking up 🫶
• sgl — the sg list to iterate over. the main character list, periodt.
• nents — number of sg entries. yes bestie, count them. 🔢
• flags — sg iterator flags. the little switchboard vibes. 🎛️

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Starts mapping iterator miter. that's it, that's the move — iconic, concise, no notes. 💅

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

Don't care. like, it really does not care. 😌
