snd_soc_dapm...ch_path_safe(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for snd_soc_dapm...ch_path_safe(9), and the function it's hyping up is snd_soc_dapm_widget_for_each_path_safe — it iterates over all paths in the specified direction of a widget. literally its whole job. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

snd_soc_dapm_widget_for_each_path_safe (w , dir , p , next_p );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• w — the widget, bestie. the main character we're looking at.
• dir — whether to iterate over the paths where the specified widget is the incoming or outgoing widgets. direction check, periodt.
• p — the path iterator variable. your little cursor bestie.
• next_p — temporary storage for the next path. it's giving backup plan, and honestly? iconic.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function works just like snd_soc_dapm_widget_for_each_path, except that it is safe to remove the current path from the list while iterating. yes bestie, that's the plot twist. 🫶

the whole safety thing is the moment here: you can remove the current path from the list while you're iterating, and this version is the one that's safe to do that with. no cap.
