get_entry(9)

💅 get_entry(9) — main character energy 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner where today's main character is get_entry(9). The whole plot is simple and lowkey iconic: we unpack the recovery journal entry that matches a given recovery point. No cap. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

get_entry — unpack the recovery journal entry associated with the given recovery point. That's the vibe: you bring the recovery point, it brings back the matching entry, unpacked, slay. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the signature in all its glory, bestie — copy it exactly, no improvising:

struct recovery_journal_entry get_entry (const struct repair_completion
       *repair , const struct recovery_point *point );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• repair — the repair completion. It's the const struct repair_completion * bestie coming through the door. 🫶
• point — the recovery point. Also const struct recovery_point *, and yes she's the one we're matching. ✨

---

💖 RETURN 💖

The unpacked contents of the matching recovery journal entry. No mystery, no side quest: matching entry in, unpacked contents out. Periodt. 💅
