💖 dmmp_mpath_name_get — from the Device Mapper Multipath API, aka libdmmp 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libdmmp manual, we're doing this 💅 this one's a little function that hands you a name, and she's lowkey iconic for it.

✨ NAME ✨

dmmp_mpath_name_get — Retrieve name(alias) of certain mpath.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * dmmp_mpath_name_get (struct dmmp_mpath *dmmp_mp);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dmmp_mp — Pointer of 'struct dmmp_mpath'. If this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. 😭 not a vibe, so pls don't pass NULL, fr fr.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this function retrieves the name (also known as alias) of a certain mpath. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 👑

But here's the tea 🍓 — when the config 'user_friendly_names' been set 'no', the name will be identical to the WWID retrieved by dmmp_mpath_wwid_get. So no cute little nickname, just the raw WWID doing its thing. iykyk.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns const char *. No need to free this memory — the resources will get freed when dmmp_mpath_array_free runs. so don't you dare free() her yourself, she's got a whole cleanup system 💖
