init_section_contains(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to the init_section_contains(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 this one is short, sweet, and lowkey iconic.

init_section_contains — checks if an object is contained within the init section. that's the whole assignment. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool init_section_contains (void *virt , size_t size );

the way this signature is just sitting there looking all official 😌 copy it exactly, okay?

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• virt — the virtual address of the memory object. literally the address, bestie 📍
• size — the size of the memory object. yes, the size. the whole size. 💖

👑 RETURN 👑

returns true if the object specified by virt and size is entirely contained within the init section, and false otherwise. entire-ly, bestie — that word is doing main character work 🔥
