ldm_parse_cmp3(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ldm_parse_cmp3 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to ldm_parse_cmp3(9) — the kernel API manual page that does exactly one thing and does it cute. this is the one that reads a raw VBLK Component object straight into a vblk structure. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ldm_parse_cmp3 — Read a raw VBLK Component object into a vblk structure 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ldm_parse_cmp3 (const u8 *buffer , int buflen , struct vblk *vb );

like literally that's the whole signature, and yes it returns a bool, we love a yes-or-no queen 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • buffer — Block of data being worked on. this is the raw stuff, the material, the main character of the operation 💅
  • buflen — Size of the block of data. gotta know how much of the good stuff we're dealing with, fr fr
  • vb — In-memory vblk in which to return information. this is where the answers get handed back to you, like a bestie holding your iced coffee 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Read a raw VBLK Component object (version 3) into a vblk structure.

that's it. that's the job. version 3 specifically — the 3 in the name is not decorative, it's giving "i know exactly which format i handle" energy ⭐

💀 RETURN 💀

so this section is just… sitting there. empty. nothing listed. the page gives you the return type in the SYNOPSIS (bool) and then the RETURN section says absolutely nothing else 🙈 lowkey iconic of it, honestly. no extra claims from me — if the original doesn't say it, i'm not saying it either 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./block/partitions/ldm.c — go read the source, iykyk 👑

and the whole friend group, all of them, in order, no skipping:

and that's the page!! 🌈 this whole thing lives under ./block/partitions, and the source/version + date on the original footer say October 2026 — so yeah, dated October 2026, filed in ./block/partitions. go read your VBLK Component objects responsibly, bestie 💜🎀✨
