✨ NAME ✨

nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_unlockargs — this one decodes an nlm4_unlockargs argument. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? iconic.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool nlm4_svc_decode_nlm4_unlockargs (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
xdr_stream *xdr );

she's a bool returning girly and she takes two arguments. copy it exactly, don't @ me. 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rqstp — the RPC transaction context ✨ like, the whole situation this call is happening inside of.
• xdr — your source XDR data stream 🌊 the data she's reading from, iykyk.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually return? lowkey simple:

• true — the procedure arguments were decoded successfully 🎉 slay, we ate.
• false — decode failed 😭 it's giving nothing, the data did not cooperate.

that's the whole vibe check. no cap.
