✨ nfp_resource_acquire(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is a tiny little function page about grabbing a resource handle, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfp_resource_acquire — acquire a resource handle 👑

like, you're literally claiming a handle for a resource. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct nfp_resource * nfp_resource_acquire (struct nfp_cpp *cpp , const
       char *name );

ngl the line break in the middle is exactly how it's written, so we're keeping it, no notes 💅

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• cpp — the NFP CPP handle 🫶 like, your whole CPP situation, handed to you
• name — the name of the resource 🏷️ that's the string that tells the function which resource you're after

⭐ NOTE ⭐

heads up bestie — this function locks the acquired resource 🔒 so like, it's not just handing you a handle and walking away, it's locking it too. no cap. keep that in mind or you'll be confused later 😭

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥
