module_dm(9)

🎀 module_dm(9) — the manual page 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for module_dm(9) and it's lowkey a tiny little lifesaver for DM targets ✨

💖 NAME 💖

module_dm — the helper macro for DM targets that literally don't do anything special in their module_init and module_exit 🫶

The way this works is iconic: each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces module_init() and module_exit(). Periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_dm (name );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• name — the DM target's name. That's it, that's the whole argument, and she ate. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./include/linux/device-mapper.h — go peek, iykyk 💜
