nlm4_svc_de...lm4_testargs(9)

💅 nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testargs — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're decoding a nlm4_testargs argument today and honestly? it's giving "short but crucial." this is the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and she's a little function with a big job 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testargs — Decode a nlm4_testargs argument 🦋

no cap, that's the whole name, it's a mouthful, we love her anyway 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testargs (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
xdr_stream *xdr );

so she returns a bool, takes two pointers, and yes the spacing is exactly like that, don't come for me, i don't make the rules ⭐

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rqstp — the RPC transaction context 💫 like, the whole situation this call is happening inside
• xdr — the source XDR data stream 🌊 the actual data we're reading from, the main character of this operation ngl

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

here's the vibe check on return values, periodt:

• true — procedure arguments decoded successfully 👑 ate and left no crumbs
• false — decode failed 💀😭 it happens, bestie, we move on

that's literally it, she's a simple queen 🙈

ngl this is a decoder, so if she hands you false your arguments are NOT coming through, so maybe don't build a whole plan on top of a failed decode 🫶
