💖 dfs_cache_noreq_find(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for dfs_cache_noreq_find(9), and it's literally about finding a DFS cache entry without sending any requests to the currently connected server. We're keeping it cute and useful. Periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

dfs_cache_noreq_find — find a DFS cache entry without sending any requests to the currently connected server.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int dfs_cache_noreq_find (const char *path , struct dfs_info3_param *ref
       , struct dfs_cache_tgt_list *tgt_list );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• path — canonical DFS path to lookup in the DFS referral cache.
• ref — when non-NULL, store single DFS referral result in it.
• tgt_list — when non-NULL, store complete DFS target list in it.

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

bestie, huge caveat: this function will neither update a cache entry in case it was expired, nor create a new cache entry if path hasn't been found. It heavily relies on an existing cache entry. No cap. 💀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Return 0 if successful. Return -ENOENT if the entry was not found. Return non-zero for other errors.
