okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the function we're stanning is ldm_parse_vol5. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy ngl 💅

✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ldm_parse_vol5 (const u8 *buffer , int buflen , struct vblk *vb );

🎀 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 buffer is actually the vibe, y'know? 📏
  • vb — In-memory vblk in which to return information. this is the cute little container the answers go into 🎁
