ipe_build_eval_ctx(9)

💅 ipe_build_eval_ctx(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you need an IPE evaluation context built, and you open the man page and it's just... this. no cap, it's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ipe_build_eval_ctx — literally just: build an ipe evaluation context. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ipe_build_eval_ctx (struct ipe_eval_ctx *ctx , const struct file
*file , enum ipe_op_type op , enum ipe_hook_type hook );

she takes four things and returns void, and honestly? she ate. 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctx — Supplies a pointer to the context to be populated. so like, you're handing her an empty little context and she's gonna fill it up. she's the main character energy of this whole function tbh 🫶
• file — Supplies a pointer to the file to associated with the evaluation. yes the original says "to associated," we're not fixing it, we're respecting the lore 🙈✨
• op — Supplies the IPE policy operation associated with the evaluation. this is the what are we even doing here of it all. 👑
• hook — Supplies the LSM hook associated with the evaluation. and this is the who's calling part. the where. the whole entire moment. 💅

no return value, no error paths listed, no environment variables, no exit statuses — she's a builder and she's booked and busy. periodt. ⭐
