add_initrd_mem_range(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the add_initrd_mem_range(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic: add_initrd_mem_range adds the initrd range to the given memory ranges list, if the initrd was retained. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int add_initrd_mem_range (struct crash_mem **mem_ranges );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mem_ranges — the range list to add the memory range to. that's the whole vibe: the range list is where the memory range gets added. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It returns 0 on success, and a negative errno on error. success is the zero slay; errors are the negative errno situation — periodt. 🔥
