xas_find_conflict(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 xas_find_conflict(9) 🦋

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it's a baddie — it's literally the function that finds you the next present entry in a range 💅

✨ NAME ✨

xas_find_conflict — find the next present entry in a range. That's it, that's the whole job 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void * xas_find_conflict (struct xa_state *xas );

like, you hand it a state and it hands you back a pointer, no cap ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • xas — the XArray operation state 🫶 that's the vibe, that's the whole input, she's lowkey carrying the entire operation

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

The xas describes both a range and a position within that range. So it's not just "where am I" — it's "where am I and what's my window," which is honestly main character energy of it 🌈

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

Any context. Periodt. Works anywhere 💀

⚠️ ok but fr fr, it expects xa_lock to be held. Like, that's not optional, bestie — the lock needs to already be in your hand before you call this. Don't skip that step 🚨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The next entry in the range covered by xas, or NULL 🍓

so like — entry if there's one, NULL if there isn't. Simple. Iconic. Ate. 💅

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚
