nilfs_ioctl_resize(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nilfs_ioctl_resize(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for nilfs_ioctl_resize(9) — yes the whole manual is called nilfs_ioctl_resize(9) too, it's giving name twins, we love that for them ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nilfs_ioctl_resize — resize a NILFS2 volume. that's it, that's the whole gig. she resizes. she's a volume resizer. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nilfs_ioctl_resize (struct inode *inode , struct file *filp , void
__user *argp );

look at her signature, so clean, so three-argument 😌 note the spacing is exactly as written, no cap, keep it verbatim bestie 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • inode — the inode object. the actual file-system-node main character of this whole operation 🧚
  • filp — the file object. yes that's the real parameter name, yes it's silly, we're moving on 💀
  • argp — pointer on argument from userspace. so this is the little userland care package getting handed over 🎁

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 💖
  • a negative error code on failure 😭 — so like, if the vibe check fails, you get a negative number back. that's the whole contract fr fr

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

and now the part where we tag literally everyone in the group chat. the kernel file itself is ./fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c, and it says bring your friends:

like ok that's a lot of friends but every single one of them is invited, don't skip anybody, that's rude 🙈

🌈 the cute sign-off 🌈

this whole vibe lives under ./fs/nilfs2, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the name nilfs_ioctl_resize(9) one more time for the people in the back 💜

mwah, go resize something responsibly, ily, bye 🍓💅
