✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is all about n_hdlc_alloc(9) — the function that literally allocates an n_hdlc instance data structure. Slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct n_hdlc * n_hdlc_alloc (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. Zero. None. It’s giving “I need no input, I’m the main character” energy, fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If it succeeds, it returns a pointer to a newly created structure. If it doesn’t, it returns NULL. That’s the whole vibe check 👑 — success pointer, otherwise NULL, no cap.
