nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_res(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the manual page for nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_res(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it does exactly what the name says: it decodes a nlm4_res argument. iconic little helper behavior, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_res (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
       xdr_stream *xdr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rqstp — the RPC transaction context. it's giving "the situation we're operating in" energy. 💫
• xdr — the source XDR data stream. this is where the encoded data comes from. 🌊

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Here's the return-value tea, and it's literally just two outcomes:

• true — the procedure arguments decoded successfully. slay. ✅
• false — the decode failed. not slay, but important to know. 😭
