💖 fbnic_tlv_test_create 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the fbnic_tlv_test_create(9) page — yes it's a section 9 kernel API manual page, yes we're reading it for fun, and yes it slays ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fbnic_tlv_test_create — allocate a test message and fill it w/ data 🎀

like, the whole vibe is: make a TLV test message, then stuff it full of data. that's it. that's the function. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct fbnic_tlv_msg * fbnic_tlv_test_create (struct fbnic_dev *fbd );

look at her go 🦋 she takes one arg and hands you back a whole struct fbnic_tlv_msg *. main character energy fr fr.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• fbd — the FBNIC device structure 💜 that's it, that's the one thing you gotta give her. no cap.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

she gives you one of two things, no in-between:

• NULL if she fails to allocate 😭 (allocation said no)
• a pointer to your brand-new TLV test message 👑 (allocation said yes)

vibe check passed either way, tbh — you just gotta check which one you got 🙈
