dm_parse_table_entry(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

dm_parse_table_entry — parse a table entry. Welcome to the dm_parse_table_entry(9) page in the Kernel API Manual, bestie — it's giving very niche kernel energy, and we're here for it 💖.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char * dm_parse_table_entry (struct dm_device *dev , char *str );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device where the parsed information gets stored. That's its whole job, no cap.
• str — the pointer to a string with the format: <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>[, ...]. Keep that exact, bestie.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this one returns the remainder string after the table entry — i.e., after the comma that delimits the entry — or NULL if it reached the end of the string. That's the vibe. Periodt.
