💅 nfsd4_encode_notify_event — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so this page is nfsd4_encode_notify_event(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, which honestly is giving "backstage pass to the kernel" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfsd4_encode_notify_event — encode a notify 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u8 * nfsd4_encode_notify_event (struct xdr_stream *xdr , struct
nfsd_notify_event *nne , struct nfs4_delegation *dp , struct nfsd_file
*nf , u32 *notify_mask );

like, five whole parameters. she's high maintenance but she's worth it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xdr — the stream to which to encode the fattr4. that's where the bytes are going, bestie 🫶
  • nne — the nfsd_notify_event to encode. she's the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • dp — the delegation where the event occurred 🦋
  • nf — the nfsd_file on which the event occurred 🍓
  • notify_mask — pointer to the word where the notification mask should be set. lowkey important 🔥

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so basically: encode nne into xdr. that's the vibe. 🧚

and on success? the matching bit in notify_mask gets set. periodt. ✨

💜 RETURN 💜

a pointer to the start of the encoded event — or NULL if the event could not be encoded 😭 (ngl, that's the sad path, but at least you know fr fr)

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

like a little friend group of encoder/decoder functions 🫶 go read them, iykyk 💖

a gentle reminder, bestie: check that return value. NULL means it did not slay 💀

okay that's the whole page!! so this icon was brought to you by ./fs/nfsd, and the date on it is October 2026 — future vibes fr fr 🌈🦋⭐ ily, go encode responsibly 🎀💅
