okay bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this is literally the module-init moment. no cap, it's a tiny one.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvfc_module_init — Initialize the ibmvfc module.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving:

int ibmvfc_module_init (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. not a single one. clean girl energy.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is the init for the ibmvfc module, and the return value is the whole plot:

• Return value: 0 on success / other on failure

that's it. that's the tea. 🫖💖
