✨ nlm_svc_decode_nlm_shareargs ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and tbh it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic 💅 the function name is a whole mouthful (nlm_svc_deco...lm_shareargs(9) — yes the title literally gets truncated like that, no cap, that's just how the header rolls) but the vibe is simple: we're decoding some share args. periodt.

🌸 NAME 🌸

nlm_svc_decode_nlm_shareargs — decode a nlm_shareargs argument 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

like, look at her. she returns a bool. she takes two things. main character energy fr fr 🔥

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • rqstp — the RPC transaction context 🫶 this is the whole situation your call is living inside, basically the group chat the request showed up in.
  • xdr — the source XDR data stream ⭐ this is where the bytes are actually coming from. the raw tea, if you will.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the whole plot: this function decodes a nlm_shareargs argument. that's it. that's the job. 💀

and the return values? literally just two moods:

  • true — procedure arguments decoded successfully 👑 slay, it worked, we ate.
  • false — decode failed 😭 not slay. something went wrong in the parsing department.
no like genuinely, that's the entire description. don't go looking for extra lore, it's not there bestie 🙈

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚
