okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, yes, the big scary one, and yes, you're gonna get it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

bond_opt_parse — parse option value

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

const struct bond_opt_value * bond_opt_parse (const struct bond_option
*opt , struct bond_opt_value *val );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• opt — the option you're parsing against, like the rulebook bestie 📖
• val — the value to parse, the thing we're holding up to the light 🔍

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this function does is it tries to extract the value from val and check if it's a possible match for the option 🫶 It returns NULL if a match isn't found, or the struct_opt_value that matched — that's the one that ate, no cap 👑

Oh and also? It strips the new line from val->string if it's present ✨ little cleanup moment, she's tidy 💅
