💅 xas_get_order (9) — Kernel API Manual energy 🎀

okay bestie, sit down, because we're talking about xas_get_order from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little icon. it's giving "short function, big main character energy" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xas_get_order — get the order of an entry. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int xas_get_order (struct xa_state *xas );

literally one argument, no cap. she's lowkey efficient like that 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • xas — the XArray operation state. that's your girl, the whole context of the operation, she carries everything 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: you call this after xas_load, okay? like, xas_load does its thing first, then you come through with xas_get_order. respect the order of operations, periodt ✋

two very real vibe checks before you call:

  • the xas should not be in an error state — if it's in an error state, like, no. just no 😭
  • the xas should not be pointing to a sibling entry — nope, not that one, not today 🙈
fr fr, these are requirements, not suggestions. check your xas before you ship it 💀

👑 RETURN 👑

a number between 0 and 63 indicating the order of the entry ⭐ that's your answer bestie, go forth and use it

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚
