💖 lsm_fs_ss_name_get — bestie edition 💖

okay so we're in the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual and today's main character is lsm_fs_ss_name_get(3). it's giving "let me tell you her name" energy and honestly? obsessed. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lsm_fs_ss_name_get — she retrieves the name for the file system snapshot. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

const char * lsm_fs_ss_name_get (lsm_fs_ss *ss);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ss — the file system snapshot you want the name of. hand her the snapshot, she hands you the name. simple as. 🫶

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — day one and she already ate. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Retrieves the name for the file system snapshot. literally what it says on the tin, no plot twists, no hidden lore. you pass the snapshot, you get her name back. iconic behavior, no notes. 💖

💀 NOTE 💀

okay bestie listen CLOSELY because this part is important and I'm not playing around:
  • The address returned is valid until lsm_fs_ss gets freed — so the second that snapshot gets freed, that pointer is dust. copy the return value if you need longer scope. fr fr. 😭
  • Do not free the returned string. not yours. don't touch. hands off. it is NOT your string to free, and if you do, that's on you. 🙈

💜 RETURN 💜

Returns a string. and if argument ss is NULL or not a valid lsm_fs_ss pointer, you get NULL back — which is the universe's way of saying "girl, that's not a real snapshot." 💅

that's the whole page, you're welcome, go forth and name your snapshots responsibly 🧚
