💅 ipe_parser_unsigned_test(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes we're in the kernel docs, put your seatbelt on 🎀. Today's main character is ipe_parser_unsigned_test, a little function that has one job and does it slayfully.

✨ NAME ✨

ipe_parser_unsigned_test — literally just testing the parser by passing it unsigned policies 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ipe_parser_unsigned_test (struct kunit *test );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• test — supplies a pointer to a kunit structure. that's it, that's the whole arg 🫶

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so the kunit harness is the one calling this, not you — it's called by the harness, periodt.

And here's the tea 🔥: this test does not check the correctness of the policy. nope, not its vibe. What it does ensure is that errors are handled correctly. so like, it's a vibe check for error handling, not for policy correctness. iykyk 💅

ngl this one's short and sweet — don't go looking for extra behaviour, it's not in the source, and we don't invent facts around here 🙈
