✨ lsm_plugin_info_get ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the lsm_plugin_info_get(3) page, straight outta the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual 💖 this one's a lil function that spills the tea on your plug-in. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lsm_plugin_info_get — retrieves information about the plug-in 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lsm_plugin_info_get (lsm_connect *conn, char **desc, char **version,
lsm_flag flags);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — a valid lsm_connect pointer. gotta be the real deal, no fake ones 💅
• desc — plug-in version. yes, the page really does say "version" here, i'm just the messenger 😭 the returned string should be freed manually with the free library call. like, you own that string now, bestie, it's your responsibility 🫶
• version — plug-in version. and the returned string should be freed manually too. don't let it leak, that's not the vibe 🌸
• flags — reserved for future use, must be LSM_CLIENT_FLAG_RSVD. no freestyling here, it's literally the only acceptable value 🙈

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

retrieves information about the plug-in. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic, honestly 👑

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it hands you back an error code, as enumerated by lsm_error_number:

• LSM_ERR_OK — on success. slay, we ate 💅✨
• LSM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT — when any argument is NULL, or it's not a valid lsm_connect pointer, or the flags are invalid. basically when the vibe check fails 💀

---

lowkey important: that desc and version memory is yours to free. the function does not do it for you, no cap 🧚

and that's the whole page bestie, go forth and retrieve plug-in info responsibly 🌈🍓
