nfsd_open_verified(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfsd_open_verified(9) — Open a regular file for the filecache. Yes bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for it ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Copy the signature exactly, no typos, no vibes-based guessing:

int nfsd_open_verified (struct svc_fh *fhp , umode_t type , int
may_flags , struct file **filp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fhp — NFS filehandle of the file to open. That's the file's NFS handle, bestie.
• type — S_IFMT inode type allowed (0 means any type is allowed).
• may_flags — internal permission flags.
• filp — OUT: open struct file *. That's the output spot for the open file pointer, iykyk.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It returns zero on success, or a negative errno value. That's the whole return story, no cap 😌
