β¨ ecryptfs_init_kmem_caches(9) β¨
ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πΈ β this one's a tiny little function page but she's iconic in her own lowkey way. It's ecryptfs_init_kmem_caches(9), and yes the (9) means kernel-land, we're literally in the filesystem guts rn π
π NAME π
ecryptfs_init_kmem_caches β
and that's it. That's the whole description. The NAME line just ends on the dash and leaves us hanging π no cap, the man page said "figure it out bestie" and honestly? main character energy.
π SYNOPSIS π
int ecryptfs_init_kmem_caches (void );
Copy it exactly like that, spaces and all β int return type, void params, and yes there's a space before that closing paren, she's quirky like that π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
voidβ no arguments. Zero. None. She takes nothing from you, she's completely self-sufficient π
β DESCRIPTION β
Here's the whole tea, and it's short:
- Returns zero on success π
- Returns non-zero otherwise π
That's literally it, fr fr. Zero = we slayed. Non-zero = something's off and you should vibe check your setup. The page doesn't say more than that, so I'm not gonna invent lore for it π
