nlm_svc_decode_nlm_lockargs(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — the main character of this page is nlm_svc_decode_nlm_lockargs(9), and yes, she's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

nlm_svc_decode_nlm_lockargs — decode a nlm_lockargs argument. That's the assignment, no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rqstp — the RPC transaction context, aka the situation this RPC call is living in.
• xdr — the source XDR data stream you're decoding from. The byte buffet, basically. 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Decode that nlm_lockargs argument, periodt. The return values are literally the whole vibe check:

• true — procedure arguments decoded successfully ✨
• false — decode failed 😭

bestie, those two booleans are doing a lot of emotional labor here.
