✨ aa_ns_name(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the aa_ns_name page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's aa_ns_name with a manual section of 9, we love a kernel-internals moment 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

aa_ns_name — literally just: find the ns name to display for @view from @curr 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * aa_ns_name (struct aa_ns *curr , struct aa_ns *view , bool
subns );

no cap, that's the whole signature, character for character 👑

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• curr — the current namespace. it's marked NOT NULL, so like… do not come in here with a NULL, that's not the vibe 🙈
• view — the namespace that's attempting to view. also NOT NULL, same energy, please respect it 🫶
• subns — are subns visible. yes that's a bool, yes it's literally asking whether subns are visible 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the name of view visible from curr — that's it, that's the whole gift 🎁
