nfsd_create_setattr(9)

💅 NAME 💅

nfsd_create_setattr — setting a freshly created file's attributes, okurrr ✨ (this is the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and yes we're reading kernel docs for fun now 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

__be32 nfsd_create_setattr (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct svc_fh *fhp
, struct svc_fh *resfhp , struct nfsd_attrs *attrs );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rqstp — the RPC transaction that's being executed rn, like the group chat message currently being sent 💌
• fhp — the NFS filehandle of the parent directory (the one that's giving birth to the new object, lowkey iconic of it 👑)
• resfhp — the NFS filehandle of the new object, the main character we just made ✨
• attrs — the attributes that got requested for the new object, aka the vibe the file is supposed to have 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the whole tea, bestie: this thing returns nfs_ok when it works 🎉, or an nfsstat in network byte order when it doesn't 😭. That's it, that's the description — no cap, she's short but she's honest.

Ngl, "an nfsstat in network byte order" is the important bit — it's not a plain int sitting there looking cute, it's byte-swapped, so don't go comparing it raw fr fr 💀
