alloc_pvd(9)

🎀 alloc_pvd(9) 🎀

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for alloc_pvd(9) — we’re folding the manual name in right here so the header doesn’t have to do all the work 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

alloc_pvd — reads physical volume descriptor @state @lba

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct pvd * alloc_pvd (struct parsed_partitions *state , u32 lba );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• state — -- undescribed -- 😭 the manpage literally gives us nothing here, no cap.
• lba — -- undescribed -- same energy, also undescribed 🫠.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so alloc_pvd returns pvd on success and NULL on error — that’s the return deal, periodt. It allocates space for pvd and fill it with disk blocks at lba. That’s the whole main character moment 🔥.

⚠️ NOTES ⚠️

remember to free pvd when you're done! 🚨

bestie please remember this, it’s giving important cleanup energy 🧚💖.
