cuse_parse_devinfo(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, this is cuse_parse_devinfo(9) β€” the little kernel helper that parses a device info string. it's giving β€œturn this text into a struct cuse_devinfo” energy, and honestly? iconic. πŸ’…

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cuse_parse_devinfo (char *p , size_t len , struct cuse_devinfo
       *devinfo );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • p β€” the device info string. yes, that exact string. 🫢
  • len β€” the length of the device info string. gotta know how much string we're stringing, fr fr.
  • devinfo β€” the out parameter where the parsed device info gets stored. it's the main character of the output situation. πŸ‘‘

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the vibe is: parse p, extract the device info, and store it into devinfo. simple, slay, no cap. ✨

but bestie, listen β€” the string pointed to by p is modified by parsing, and devinfo points into that same string. so like… do not free p while devinfo is still in use. that's the rule. it's not a suggestion. it's giving β€œrespect the lifetime or catch these bugs” energy. 😭

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

  • 0 on success β€” yay, we ate. πŸ“
  • -errno on failure β€” not slay, but at least you know what happened. πŸ’€
