ecryptfs_co..._inode_flags(9)

🌸 ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_flags_to_inode_flags(9) 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and the page name is honestly too long for the header so it gets squished down to ecryptfs_co..._inode_flags(9) — yes that's the real, official, truncated vibe. iykyk 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_flags_to_inode_flags — that's it, that's the name, no little dash description after it, the manpage just leaves us hanging 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_flags_to_inode_flags (struct
ecryptfs_crypt_stat *crypt_stat , struct ecryptfs_mount_crypt_stat
*mount_crypt_stat );

it returns void, so like… no return value, no exit status, nothing to check. it just does the thing and moves on. main character energy fr ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• crypt_stat — the inode's cryptographic context 💖 this is the one getting stuff copied into.
• mount_crypt_stat — the mount point's cryptographic context 🌸 this is the one the flags come from.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does it actually do? literally what it says on the tin: this function propagates the mount-wide flags to individual inode flags. mount-wide ➡️ inode-level. the flags travel. slay 💫

no extra options, no hidden defaults, no environment variables, nothing sneaky — just a straight-up copy of flags from the mount's crypt stat into the inode's crypt stat. clean, simple, iconic. periodt.

no warnings, no bugs, no deprecation drama on this one — it's just a flag-copying cutie 🧚

that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 this one's from the ./fs/ecryptfs source tree, October 2026 era, and yes the footer still calls it ecryptfs_co..._inode_flags(9) because some names are just too iconic to fit. bye bestie, go copy some flags 🍓💖
