💖 wait_for_api_cmd_completion(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this lil page is all about wait_for_api_cmd_completion, and honestly? the name is giving exactly what it is: you wait for a command to complete. no plot twists, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wait_for_api_cmd_completion — wait for command to complete 🦋

like, literally that. you call it, you chill, the command finishes. main character energy but make it a blocking call.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int wait_for_api_cmd_completion (struct hinic_api_cmd_chain *chain );

copy it exactly like that, spacing and all, i don't make the rules (i do enforce them tho 💅).

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • chain — the chain for the command 💫 that's your one and only input, she's carrying the whole function on her back fr fr.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

the whole mood of this function, in the original's own words:

Return 0 - Success, negative - Failure

so yeah. 0 means slay, we ate, everything's fine ✨. anything negative means it did not go well 😭 — check that return value, i'm begging you. lowkey the most important two lines on this whole page and they're also the shortest. iconic honestly.
