πŸ’… mraid_mm_ioctl(9) β€” straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, so this page is literally from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (the (9) in mraid_mm_ioctl(9)? yeah that's the section, we love a naming convention πŸŽ€). It's the whole glow-up guide to mraid_mm_ioctl, which is the module entry-point for ioctls, no cap. Let's get into it πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

mraid_mm_ioctl β€” module entry-point for ioctls. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the front door that ioctl calls come knocking on πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mraid_mm_ioctl (struct file *filep , unsigned int cmd , unsigned
       long arg );

look at that signature, it's giving "i take three things and i return an int" πŸ’…


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • filep β€” the file operations pointer. and honestly? she's ignored. not read, not checked, not invited to the group chat. just... there πŸ™ˆ
  • cmd β€” the ioctl command. the actual "what do you want me to do" of it all 🌟
  • arg β€” the user ioctl packet. this is the payload, the main character of the call πŸ’Œ
