pack_vdo_config(9)

💖 pack_vdo_config(9) 💖

okay so this lil page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly giving tiny-converter energy. It takes a vdo_config and hands you back its packed on-disk representation. Struct glow-up, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pack_vdo_config(9) converts a vdo_config to its packed on-disk representation. That's the whole gig, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct packed_vdo_config pack_vdo_config (struct vdo_config config );

That's the return type struct packed_vdo_config, the function name pack_vdo_config, and one argument: a struct vdo_config called config. Iconic signature behavior. 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• config — the vdo config to convert. She's the one and only input, and she's main-character energy. 👑

🌸 RETURN 🌸

You get back the platform-independent representation of the config ✨. Literally the packed version, being all platform-independent and cute about it.

mwah 💋 this page's source/version cutie is ./drivers/md/dm-vdo, dated October 2026, and the page itself is literally pack_vdo_config(9). slay and goodnight, bestie 🫶
