nilfs_palloc_desc_blkoff(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the nilfs_palloc_desc_blkoff(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. This function is literally here to get block offset of a group descriptor block — that’s the whole vibe. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned long nilfs_palloc_desc_blkoff (const struct inode *inode ,
unsigned long group );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• inode — inode of metadata file using this allocator. yep, that’s the one you hand over 🫶
• group — group number. the group in question, no cap 💫

🎀 RETURN 🎀

Index number in the metadata file of the descriptor block of the group specified by group. that’s what you get back, bestie — iconic little index number energy 👑✨
