✨ kobject_move(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, we're diving into the Kernel API Manual today and honestly? this one's a lil function with a big job. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kobject_move — literally just moves an object to another parent. that's the whole vibe. moving day, but for kobjects 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int kobject_move (struct kobject *kobj , struct kobject *new_parent );

that's it. two args, one int coming back at you. no cap. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• kobj — the object in question 👀 like, this is the one we're relocating.
• new_parent — the object's new parent. and yes, it can be NULL — that's allowed, that's fine, we love a flexible parent situation 🫶
