💅 lsm_init_single — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is lsm_init_single(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of those tiny-but-iconic little functions that does exactly one thing and does it slayfully. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_init_single — Initialize a given LSM 🎀

like… that's it. that's the whole job. one LSM, one init. she's focused. she's main character energy. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lsm_init_single (struct lsm_info *lsm );

look at her. returns void (so don't come looking for a return value, she's not giving you one 🫶), takes exactly one pointer, and it points at a struct lsm_info. that's the vibe check and she passed it.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lsm — the LSM definition, bestie. that's the whole argument. it's the LSM you're initializing. iykyk 🧚

fr fr, that's the only argument on the whole page. no hidden extras, no secret flags param, nothing. just lsm. 💀
