vli_is_zero(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is vli_is_zero from the Kernel API Manual, and the official name blurb is “Determine is vli is zero” (yes, it says “is” — we are not fixing the kernel’s grammar today 😭). Basically: it checks whether a vli is zero. Slay. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool vli_is_zero (const u64 *vli , unsigned int ndigits );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vli — the vli you want to check, bestie.
• ndigits — the length of the vli.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It gives you true if vli == 0, and false otherwise. Periodt. 💅
