xas_set_order(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to xas_set_order(9) — this page is literally straight out of the Kernel API Manual. 🫶 The whole vibe is: xas_set_order — Set up XArray operation state for a multislot entry. That's it, that's the mission. 💅

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

here's the signature, exact and untouched because we do not play with code 😭:

void xas_set_order (struct xa_state *xas , unsigned long index ,
       unsigned int order );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xas — XArray operation state. like, the state object for the operation; this is what you're setting up.
  • index — Target of the operation. the exact spot you're aiming at, no cap.
  • order — Entry occupies 2^order indices. so yes, it occupies 2^order indices — multislot behavior, iconic.
