ENUM SSAM_NOTIF_FLAGS(9)

💅 SSAM notifier flags, but make it iconic 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the enum ssam_notif_flags(9) page in the Kernel API Manual. this is the enum for the flags used in return values from SSAM notifier callback functions, and we’re gonna go through it together. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

enum ssam_notif_flags — flags used in return values from SSAM notifier callback functions. that’s the whole name, and yes it’s giving kernel-core.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum ssam_notif_flags {
    SSAM_NOTIF_HANDLED ,
    SSAM_NOTIF_STOP

};

🌸 Constants 🌸

• SSAM_NOTIF_HANDLED — this one means the notification has been handled. the handler should set this flag if the handler can act/has acted upon the event provided to it. do not set it if the handler is not a primary handler intended for the provided event. periodt.
• SSAM_NOTIF_STOP — this one means notifier traversal should stop. if a notifier callback returns this flag, notifier chain traversal will immediately stop and any remaining notifiers will not be called. it also gets set automatically when ssam_notifier_from_errno is called with a negative error value. slay, but also halt 💅.

🦋 Description 🦋

if this flag has not been set by any handler after the notifier chain has been traversed, a warning will be emitted, stating that the event has not been handled. so yeah, it’s a whole vibe check for whether anybody actually handled the event.
