✨ timerqueue_add(9) ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual 💅 this one is a little function with main character energy — it's all about slipping a timer into a queue and keeping everything sorted, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

timerqueue_add — Adds timer to timerqueue. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool timerqueue_add (struct timerqueue_head *head , struct
timerqueue_node *node );

It gives you back a bool, so you will get an answer — and you're gonna wanna pay attention to it, iykyk. 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • head — head of timerqueue. Like, the literal head of the whole queue, the main character of the data structure. ✨
  • node — timer node to be added. This is the little timer you're yeeting in there. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the tea, bestie: timerqueue_add adds the timer node to the timerqueue, and it's sorted by the node's expires value. Sorted! Not just shoved in wherever. The queue stays organized, and honestly? Iconic behavior. 💅

And the return value? It returns true if the newly added timer is the first expiring timer in the queue. So true means "girl, this one's up next" and that's a pretty big deal — it's giving first-place energy. 🥇🌸
