alloc_lvn(9)

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for alloc_lvn(9) — it’s short, it’s mysterious, and two whole arguments are just… not described 😭💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

alloc_lvn - reads logical volume names @state @lba ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct lvname * alloc_lvn (struct parsed_partitions *state , u32 lba );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• state — the manpage literally says -- undescribed --, so that’s all the tea we have 🙈
• lba — also -- undescribed --, no cap 😭

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

On success you get lvn back; on error you get NULL. It allocates space for lvn and fills it with disk blocks at lba — that’s the whole plot, and honestly it’s enough 👑

⭐ NOTES ⭐

remember to free lvn when you’re done! 🫶

Please don’t forget, bestie 💅
