🌸 gcov_info_within_module(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual, the one with the vibes 💅. Today's main character is gcov_info_within_module, and no cap, it's a little cutie with a very specific job. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gcov_info_within_module — check if a profiling data set belongs to a module 🔍

Like, it's literally a vibe check for profiling data. Does this data set belong to this module? That's the whole plot 🎀

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

bool gcov_info_within_module (struct gcov_info *info , struct module *mod );

Look at that signature. It's giving "small function, big responsibility" and honestly? Obsessed 😭✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• info — the profiling data set 👑 like, the data in question, the one we're checking up on
• mod — the module 💫 the one info might belong to, the potential home, the "are you from here" of it all

Two arguments, both iconic, both doing exactly what they say on the tin 🍓

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Returns true if the profiling data belongs to the module, and false otherwise 💀

That's it. That's the function. It checks, it answers, it leaves. No drama, no side quests, just a boolean and a dream ✨

ngl bestie, it's a yes-or-no situation and this function is very confident about it 🙈
