kobject_get(9)

✨ kobject_get(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny lil function with big main character energy, and honestly it's giving "one line, zero drama, absolutely load-bearing." 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

kobject_get — increment refcount for object. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct kobject * kobject_get (struct kobject *kobj );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• kobj — object. like, the object. the one you're about to be obsessed with. no notes, the manpage really said "object" and dipped 🎀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie, this list is long and every single one of these is a real one, so let's not pretend we're gonna skip any of them. the kernel file is ./lib/kobject.c, and the whole squad is:

• kobject_namespace(9)
• kobject_get_ownership(9)
• kobject_get_path(9)
• kobject_set_name_vargs(9)
• kobject_set_name(9)
• kobject_init(9)
• kobject_add(9)
• kobject_init_and_add(9)
• kobject_rename(9)
• kobject_move(9)
• kobject_del(9)
• kobject_put(9)
• kobject_create(9)
• kobject_create_and_add(9)
• kset_init(9)
• kset_register(9)
• kset_unregister(9)
• kset_find_obj(9)
• kset_create(9)
• kset_create_and_add(9)

ngl, kobject_put(9) is the lowkey villain of this list — it's the one that gives the refcount back. read them as a pair, iykyk 😭

and that's the vibe check, bestie 💜 this page lives in ./lib, dated October 2026, and it goes by kobject_get(9) — go forth and increment responsibly, periodt. 🌈⭐
