smk_find_entry(9)

💅 smk_find_entry — like, the Kernel API Manual edition, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the fancy kernel-functions one 🎀), and it's literally about hunting down a label. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

smk_find_entry — bestie, it finds a label on the list and hands you back the list entry 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct smack_known * smk_find_entry (const char *string );

like, you give it a string, it gives you a struct smack_known *. that's the whole vibe 💫

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• string — a text string that might be a Smack label 🏷️ (note the "might", she's not making promises yet, iykyk)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what she does is: returns a pointer to the entry in the label list that matches the string you passed in 🔥

And if there's no match? She returns NULL 😭 no entry for you, bestie, the list said no 💀

no cap, always vibe-check for NULL before you go dereferencing, that's just self-care 🫶
