gfs2_setbit(9)

💅 gfs2_setbit(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of gfs2_setbit — a little kernel-API icon from the Kernel API Manual. She sets bits. In bitmaps. That's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME

gfs2_setbit — set a bit in the bitmaps 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

void gfs2_setbit (const struct gfs2_rbm *rbm , bool do_clone , unsigned
       char new_state );

like… that's it. that's the signature. no cap. 💅

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS

• rbm — the position of the bit to set 📍 girl's got a location and she knows it
• do_clone — also set the clone bitmap, if it exists 👀 key detail, bestie: if it exists. don't come for me if there's no clone bitmap
• new_state — the new state of the block 🔥 literally the glow-up the block is getting
