💅 nlm_svc_dec...m_notifyargs(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, we're fancy like that ✨. Today's main character is nlm_svc_decode_nlm_notifyargs, and honestly? She's a little decoder who just wants to know if your notify args are valid. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nlm_svc_decode_nlm_notifyargs — Decode a nlm_notifyargs argument

Like, that's literally her whole job. Decode the thing. Slay 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

She takes two things and returns a bool. Simple. Elegant. Iconic 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rqstp — the RPC transaction context. Think of it as the group chat where this whole RPC conversation is happening 💬
  • xdr — the source XDR data stream. This is where the actual bytes live, and she's gonna read from it 👀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here's the vibe check on return values, and I need you to memorize this bestie because it's the whole point:

  • true — procedure arguments decoded successfully 🎉 ate and left no crumbs
  • false — decode failed 😭 it's giving error, it's giving invalid

That's it. That's the description. No cap, that's all she wrote. She decodes, she tells you if it worked, she moves on. Queen behavior 👑💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

This is the friend group, and you WILL be introduced to all of them, no skipping 🙈:

Look at that roster. The decoders AND the encoders. It's giving balanced energy ⚖️🌸

💀 friendly reminder bestie: true means it worked, false means it didn't. Don't flip them. I'm watching. 🫶
