🌸 NAME 🌸

struct eventfs_entry β€” the callback handler for files that get created dynamically inside eventfs, no cap πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct eventfs_entry {
    const char                      *name;
    eventfs_callback callback;

 };

πŸŽ€ Description πŸŽ€

See the evenfs_callback typedef for how to set up callback ⭐ (yes, it's spelled that way in the docs, iykyk β€” don't come for me πŸ™ˆ)
