✨ NAME ✨

void cuse_process_init_reply (struct fuse_args *args , int error );

that's it, that's the whole signature, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• args — the arguments that were passed to the init reply 🎀
• error — the error code, and it's the one telling you whether anything went wrong during the process 😭 (yes it really is just sitting there in the parameter list like that)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? this function creates the character device and sets up all the required data structures for it. like, the whole glow-up: device → created, data structures → set up, main character energy → achieved ✨
