nlm4_svc_de...lm4_cancargs(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_cancargs — the glow-up

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one (1) little function that lives in the kernel's lockd corner of the world. it decodes a nlm4_cancargs argument. that's it. that's the whole vibe. but like, it's iconic in its own quiet way 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_cancargs — Decode a nlm4_cancargs argument

like yes, she decodes. she takes those raw bytes and turns them into something the kernel can actually work with. main character energy fr fr 🔥

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_cancargs (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
       xdr_stream *xdr );

that's the whole signature, no cap. she takes two things and hands you back a bool. simple. clean. iconic ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • rqstp — the RPC transaction context 💖 this is basically the group chat the request is happening in. it's a struct svc_rqst *, and it's where all the context lives.
  • xdr — the source XDR data stream 🌈 this is the actual data stream she's reading from. it's a struct xdr_stream *, and it's lowkey the whole point — this is the thing getting decoded.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: the return values are the entire story, and we're keeping it exactly as it is 🫶

  • true → the procedure arguments decoded successfully, slay 💅
  • false → decode failed, and honestly? 😭 that's a wrap on that request.

that's it. no extra lore. no secret plot twists. she decodes, she tells you yes or no, she moves on. periodt 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

where to find her and who she hangs out with 💫

like, that's the whole friend group — decoders and encoders, all living together in ./fs/lockd. iykyk 🧚

ngl bestie, there's nothing dangerous or deprecated in here — just a decode that returns true or false. still, don't go inventing behaviour she didn't tell you about 💀

okay that's the page!! mwah 💖 this lil slice of the Kernel API Manual is from ./fs/lockd, dated October 2026 — see you in the next (9) page, bestie, bye!! 🎀✨🦋
