✨ gfs2_readdir(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> 💅 — this little icon is gfs2_readdir, and honestly? it's giving humble but essential. it's the directory iterator for gfs2, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

gfs2_readdir — iterator for a directory. yep, that's the whole vibe: it walks a directory and hands the entries off. simple, iconic, does exactly what it says on the tin 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int gfs2_readdir (struct file *file , struct dir_context *ctx );

look at that signature. so clean. so demure. (and yes, the spacing is exactly like that, we do not edit ✨)

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • file — the directory you're reading from, bestie. that's the one. the directory in question 🗂️
  • ctx — what you're feeding the directory entries to. it's the little delivery address for all those entries 🎁

🦋 RETURN 🦋

errno — that's what comes back. literally. just errno. 😭 that's the whole return section, she's concise.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
