💖 NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to memstick_alloc_host(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is literally the page for memstick_alloc_host, and it does exactly what it says: allocate a memstick_host structure. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

here's the exact signature, no cap:

struct memstick_host * memstick_alloc_host (unsigned int extra , struct

🎀 ARGUMENTS

two args, both iconic in their own way:

• extra — size of the user private data to allocate
• dev — parent device of the host

it's giving two outcomes: NULL on failure, or the allocated memstick_host pointer on success. periodt. 💀✨
