💖 GFS_ACL_CMP(3) 💖

okay bestie, so like. this is gfs_acl_cmp — a lil function from the Gfarm manual, section 3, and it does exactly one (1) thing: it compares two Gfarm ACLs. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic for that. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gfs_acl_cmp — compare two Gfarm ACLs, bestie. that's the vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gfarm/gfarm.h>

int gfs_acl_cmp(gfarm_acl_t acl1, gfarm_acl_t acl2);

like yes, that's literally it. two ACLs walk in, one int walks out. 🦋

💜 INPUT ARGUMENTS 💜

  • acl1, acl2 — an ACL structure type which is sorted. yes, sorted. both of them. the function is lowkey assuming you already did the sorting thing, so do not come in here with unsorted ACLs and act surprised, okay? 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

so here's the tea:

  • if acl1 and acl2 are equal, this function returns 0. slay. they're twins. matching. ate. ✨
  • if they differ, this function returns 1. not the same. divergent. it's giving "we are not the same person". 💀

that's the whole scale. 0 or 1. no in-between, no gray area, no "it's complicated". main character energy fr fr. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
