tracing_map_...sort_entries(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 tracing_map_...sort_entries(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so this is one of those kernel API pages, from the Kernel API Manual — and like, don't let the truncated name scare you, the whole vibe is gonna make sense in a sec ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tracing_map_destroy_sort_entries — literally just destroys an array of sort entries. That's it. That's the whole job. Cleanup queen behavior 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tracing_map_destroy_sort_entries (struct tracing_map_sort_entry
**entries , unsigned int n_entries );

So it returns void (no lil gift back, sorry 🎁), takes a pointer-to-pointer of struct tracing_map_sort_entry called entries, and an unsigned int called n_entries. That's the whole signature, no cap.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • entries — the entries you wanna destroy. Yeet them into the void 🫶
  • n_entries — how many entries are in that array. Gotta tell it the count, it's not psychic 🔮

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: when a tracing_map_sort_entries call hands you back a bunch of elements, this is the function you call to destroy them. It's the cleanup step, the "okay bestie we're done here" moment, the after-party sweep 🧹✨

Like — whatever tracing_map_sort_entries gave you, you pass it here and it gets destroyed. Simple. Iconic. Freeing that memory like it's a toxic group chat 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./kernel/trace/tracing_map.c — and honestly the whole tracing_map clique showed up to the function, so let's give them their moment:

Quick vibe check: this page lives in ./kernel/trace, it's dated October 2026, and the man page name is tracing_map_...sort_entries(9) in case you were wondering why the header looked chopped 😭

Okay that's the whole thing, mwah 💋 go destroy some entries responsibly, ily, bye! 🌈💜
