💅 nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testres — the Kernel API Manual tea, section 9 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes we're in the kernel docs, yes it's a whole vibe, and yes this one's a small page but she's iconic in her own way ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testres — literally the function that decodes a nlm4_testres argument. that's it, that's the job, and she does it slayfully 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testres (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
       xdr_stream *xdr );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copy it exactly, we don't freestyle kernel prototypes around here 🫶

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

  • rqstp — the RPC transaction context, aka the receipts for whatever RPC convo is happening rn 💌
  • xdr — the source XDR data stream, aka where the bytes are coming from 👀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? the return values tell the whole story, periodt:

  • true — the procedure arguments were decoded successfully, ate and left no crumbs ✅👑
  • false — the decode failed, and honestly? 💀 that's the vibe check failing

that's the entire description, bestie. no hidden lore, no secret extra behaviour, no invented caveats — iykyk 🌈

reminder bestie: the manual page name is nlm4_svc_dec...nlm4_testres(9) — that's the truncated one, the real function in the NAME section is nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_testres. don't mix them up 💀✨
