generic_fill_statx_attr(9)

💖 generic_fill_statx_attr(9) 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual entry for generic_fill_statx_attr, and it's literally the little helper that handles the statx attribute glow-up. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

generic_fill_statx_attr — Fill in the statx attributes from the inode flags. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void generic_fill_statx_attr (struct inode *inode , struct kstat *stat );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• inode — the inode you're using as the source. 🌱
• stat — where the attribute flags get filled in. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So bestie, here's the vibe: this one fills in the STATX_ATTR_* flags in the kstat structure. Those flags are for properties of the inode that are published on i_flags and enforced by the VFS. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💖
