✨ aa_get_profile_loaddata(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — it's aa_get_profile_loaddata(9), and it's lowkey one of those tiny helper functions that just grabs you a reference count. short page, but we're gonna give it the main character energy it deserves 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_get_profile_loaddata — get a profile reference count on loaddata 🫶

like, it bumps the refcount so your loaddata doesn't ghost you mid-use. iconic behavior, honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct aa_loaddata * aa_get_profile_loaddata (struct aa_loaddata *data
);

yep that's the whole signature. data goes in, struct aa_loaddata * comes out. no cap 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — reference to get a count on ✨ that's it, that's the whole argument. she's simple, she's cute, she has one job.

---

👑 RETURN 👑

returns a pointer to reference 🔥

⚠️ requires: data to have a valid reference count on it. like, fr fr — don't be passing in something that doesn't already have a valid count, because that's giving chaos and we don't do that here 🙈

and that's the whole page bestie!! ✨ this came out of ./security/apparmor/include and it's dated October 2026 🌈 — so yeah, mark your calendar, go bump that refcount responsibly, and remember: every valid reference count is a little act of self-care 💜🎀🦋
