🌸 NAME 🌸

lsm_volume_vpd83_verify — and that's literally it, the name section is just the function name and a lil dash hanging out by itself 🫶 (no summary line, the vibes are minimal, we love that for it)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lsm_volume_vpd83_verify (const char *vpd83);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vpd83 — the string you want verified. that's the whole assignment, bestie. just a string. ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so lsm_volume_vpd83_verify — Verifies if volume vpd83 is valid.

here's the tea on what "valid" actually means. it checks whether the string you handed it is a legit volume vpd83:

• if the string starts with '2' or '3' or '5', then a valid vpd83 needs to be 16 hex digits (0-9a-f) 👑
• if the string starts with '6', then a valid vpd83 needs to be 32 hex digits (0-9a-f) 🌈

and about the return value situation — it's giving lsm_error_number. LSM_ERR_OK when the vpd83 is OK, and otherwise it's enumerated by LSM_INVALID_ARGUMENT. 😭

lowkey the original page gets a lil scrambled right around here (there's some paref / sretval / tifnvpdris OK chaos happening 💀), but the facts are the facts: LSM_ERR_OK when the vpd83 is fine, LSM_INVALID_ARGUMENT otherwise.

🔥 RETURN 🔥
