👑 do_gfs2_set_flags(9) — Kernel API Manual 👑

okay so bestie, this is the page for do_gfs2_set_flags(9) from the Kernel API Manual. It’s giving “kernel helper with one very specific job” energy, and that job is setting flags on an inode. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

do_gfs2_set_flags — set flags on an inode. periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int do_gfs2_set_flags (struct inode *inode , u32 reqflags , u32 mask );

• inode — the inode. literally the main character here. 🌟
• reqflags — the flags to set. this is the wishlist, bestie. 🎀
