VOTEQ...UPDATE(3)

✨ VOTEQ...UPDATE ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to votequorum_qdevice_update — it's a section 3 library call from the Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual and it does exactly one thing but it does it iconically. it lives in the votequorum part of the corosync world, and no cap, it's the glow-up your quorum device name has been waiting for 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

votequorum_qdevice_update — updates the quorum device name, fr fr 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <corosync/votequorum.h>

int votequorum_qdevice_update(votequorum_handle_t handleconst char
oldname, const char newname);

that's the whole vibe check right there ✨ include the header, call the function, done.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so votequorum_qdevice_update is literally just here to change the name of the quorum device to corosync. that's it. that's the job. 🫶

and here's the tea, bestie: the name of the quorum device is purely informational and it has no significance to votequorum itself. it doesn't vote. it doesn't count. it's not doing the math. it's just a label, a little name tag at the party 🎀

but — and this is the part that actually matters — it's useful for the name (the one displayed by corosync-quorumtool) to reflect the actual device contributing votes to quorum. why? so you don't get user confusion. that's it. that's the reason. the name is cosmetic but the confusion is real, and this function is the fix 😭✨

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

this call returns the CS_OK value if it's successful — slay — otherwise an error is returned. so check your return values, bestie, always 💅
