✨ nfs4_init_client(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a little function living in ./fs/nfs/nfs4client.c and she has ONE job and she does it slayfully. it's giving "small but iconic." let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfs4_init_client — Initialise an NFS4 client record ✨

like, she initialises the thing. the NFS4 client record. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

struct nfs_client * nfs4_init_client (struct nfs_client *clp , const
struct nfs_client_initdata *cl_init );

look at her go, returning a struct nfs_client * and everything 😭👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • clp — the nfs_client to initialise. that's the main character right there, she's the one getting set up 🦋
  • cl_init — pointer to nfs_client_initdata. the little info packet that tells the function what's up 🍓

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns pointer to an NFS client, or an ERR_PTR value.

that's it, that's the whole description, no cap 💀 like yes she's brief but she's precise. you get an NFS client pointer back, OR an ERR_PTR value — so bestie, check for errors, don't just assume it worked 🙈✨
