handle_parse_error(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is handle_parse_error from the Kernel API Manual — page handle_parse_error(9), bestie. What does it do? Literally: Handle a parsing error. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void handle_parse_error (struct device_config *config , char **error_ptr
       , char *error_str );

No return value, because it's void — it just handles the parsing error and exits stage left. 🫶

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

Three arguments, and yes every single one matters:

• config — the config to free. That's it, that's the job. 🧚
• error_ptr — a place to store a constant string about the error. Like a little drop-off spot for the error tea. ☕
• error_str — a constant string to store in error_ptr. So this is the actual string that gets parked in error_ptr. 🎀
