get_znode(9)

💅 get_znode(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read 🎀

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie, this is the page for get_znode, and it is literally about grabbing a TNC znode that might not even be loaded yet. yes, we love a little mystery. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

get_znode — get a TNC znode that may not be loaded yet.

no cap, that's the whole thing. she does exactly what it says on the tin. 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ubifs_znode * get_znode (struct ubifs_info *c , struct
ubifs_znode *znode , int n );

look at her go. signature stays exactly like that, don't @ me. 💜

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. your whole file-system situation, basically the main character here. 👑
• znode — the parent znode. yes, parent, she's got family. 🌈
• n — the znode branch slot number. which slot we're sliding into, iykyk. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function returns the znode. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

and if things go sideways? it returns a negative error code instead. so like, check your return values bestie, fr fr. 😭
