dc_update_probes_prepare(9)

💅 dc_update_probes_prepare(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is one of those (9) kernel API manual pages, and honestly? it's a whole vibe. it lives in the Kernel API Manual, it's called dc_update_probes_prepare, and it does exactly one little thing but does it iconically. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dc_update_probes_prepare — commit the desired probe set into new_context.

like, the probes you want? this function takes that whole desired set and commits it into new_context. that's it. that's the whole job. slay 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool dc_update_probes_prepare (struct dc_update_scratch_space *scratch
);

one function, one arg, returns a bool. clean. minimal. main character energy fr fr 🦋

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• scratch — the commit scratch space that's carrying the probe updates 🎀 like it's literally the little bag where all your probe updates are chilling until this function does its thing.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true — you get true on success, or when there is literally nothing to do (iconic — sometimes the best move is no move 😌).
• false — you get false when the desired set is unachievable. yeah. that's the sad path. it's giving "we can't do that" energy 😭💀

no cap, false here is a real signal — it means the desired set couldn't be achieved, so don't go pretending it worked 🫶
