ins_clr_old_idx_znode(9)

💅 ins_clr_old_idx_znode — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the ins_clr_old_idx_znode(9) page ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little guy with a big job. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ins_clr_old_idx_znode — record a znode obsoleted since last commit start.

like, it logs that this znode got left behind since the last commit kicked off. very "not me keeping receipts" of it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ins_clr_old_idx_znode (struct ubifs_info *c , struct ubifs_znode
*znode );

that's the whole signature, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• c — UBIFS file-system description object
• znode — znode of obsoleted index node

two args, both essential, both iconic 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns 0 on success, and a negative error code on failure.

that's literally the whole vibe check: zero means slay, negative means 😭. no in-between, periodt.
