xas_next_marked(9)

💅 xas_next_marked — like, the Kernel API Manual page for it

okay bestie so picture this: you're deep in xarray territory, and this little inline function is literally your tour guide. it's xas_next_marked(9) and it's here to move your iterator along to the next entry that's actually marked. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * xas_next_marked (struct xa_state *xas , unsigned long max ,
       xa_mark_t mark );

yes queen, that's the whole signature, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• xas — the XArray operation state, aka the little status blob that knows where you are. main character energy fr.
• max — the highest index you're willing to return. think of it as your hard boundary. do not cross it, bestie 🚧
• mark — which mark you're searching for. you pick the vibe, it finds the entry 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

xas_next_marked is an inline function, and its whole personality is speed — it exists to optimise xarray traversal. it's highkey equivalent to calling xas_find_marked, and ngl, for all the hard cases it will literally call xas_find_marked for you. so like… it's the fast lane and the safety net in one 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns the next marked entry after the one xas is currently referring to. that's it, that's the girl 💅
