init_volumes(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this page is init_volumes(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the function is init_volumes — literally initialize volume information for existing volumes. That’s the whole mission, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int init_volumes (struct ubi_device *ubi , const struct ubi_attach_info
*ai , const struct ubi_vtbl_record *vtbl );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ubi — the UBI device description object. Main-character struct energy.
• ai — scanning information. Yes bestie, the scan lore.
• vtbl — the volume table. The table of volumes, iconic.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function allocates volume description objects for existing volumes. It’s giving “make the volume descriptions happen” energy for volumes that already exist, no cap.

Return vibe check: it returns zero in case of success, and a negative error code in case of failure. So 0 = slay, negative = something went wrong. 🫶
