nfs4_find_ds_client(9)

💅 nfs4_find_ds_client(9) — a page from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because this one is short but it's important, and it's literally the common lookup case for DS I/O 🫶 no cap. yes, that's the whole vibe of the NAME section. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nfs4_ds_server * nfs4_find_ds_client (struct nfs_client *ds_clp ,
rpc_authflavor_t flavor );

look at her 💅 two args, one struct pointer returned, zero drama. we love a signature that gets straight to the point.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ds_clp — pointer to the DS's nfs_client. yep, that's the one, the client we're looking stuff up for 🦋
• flavor — the rpc auth flavour to match. you gotta tell her which flavour you're matching, she's not a mind reader 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./fs/nfs/nfs4client.c — like, go read the source, it's giving main character energy 👑
