🌸 inode_peek_iversion_raw(9) — the kernel API manual bestie 💅

okay so like, hi, welcome to the kernel API manual section 9 page for inode_peek_iversion_raw ✨ yes that whole mouthful is the name, we're doing this, stay with me 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

inode_peek_iversion_raw — grab a "raw" iversion value 👀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u64 inode_peek_iversion_raw (const struct inode *inode );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• inode — the inode from which i_version should be read, bestie. that's it, that's the whole assignment 🍓

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Grab a "raw" inode->i_version value and return it. the way that it just hands it to you, no filter, no edits, no nothing 😌

The i_version is not flagged or converted in any way. literally zero processing. untouched. pristine. it's giving "i rolled out of bed like this" 🌈

This is mostly used to access a self-managed i_version — iykyk 💅

With those filesystems, we want to treat the i_version as an entirely opaque value. like, don't look at it, don't interpret it, don't try to make it make sense, just pass it along and mind your business 🙈

ngl this one is short and sweet and that's the vibe — it peeks, it raw, it returns. periodt 👑
