✨ autoresize(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to autoresize — it's a kernel API manual page (from the Kernel API Manual, no less 👑) and it's literally about re-sizing a volume that has the "auto-resize" flag set. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

autoresize — re-size the volume which has the "auto-resize" flag set.

like. that's it. that's the job. iconic honestly 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int autoresize (struct ubi_device *ubi , int vol_id );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• ubi — the UBI device description object 🦋 (yes, it's a struct ubi_device *, keep up bestie)
• vol_id — the ID of the volume you wanna re-size, fr fr

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's what's actually happening 👀 — this function re-sizes the volume marked by the UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG in the volume table to the largest possible size. that's the whole glow-up: it goes big. maximum. main character size 💅✨

for more description of that flag, check the comments in ubi-header.h — the flag lore lives there, iykyk 📖

and the returns? it returns zero in case of success 🫶 and a negative error code in case of failure 😭 so yeah, 0 = slay, negative = uh oh.
