✨ xas_init_marks(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about xas_init_marks — literally the glow-up/reset button for the marks on an entry 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

xas_init_marks — Initialise all marks for the entry ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void xas_init_marks (const struct xa_state *xas );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• xas — Array operations state. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what this does: it initialises all the marks for the entry specified by xas. Like, every single one of them, fresh start, clean slate, main character energy ✨

Here's the tea though — if we're tracking free entries with a mark, we need to set that mark on all entries. And all the other marks? Cleared. Gone. Not invited to the party 🙈

ngl this implementation is not as efficient as it could be — we may walk up the tree multiple times 😭 so like, she works, but she's taking the scenic route 🧚
