pldm_find_matching_record(9)

✨ pldm_find_matching_record ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to pldm_find_matching_record(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a tiny little function with main character energy — it goes looking for a PLDM record and grabs the first one that matches. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pldm_find_matching_record (struct pldmfw_priv *data );

literally one argument, one return value, zero drama ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — pointer to private data 💖 that's it, that's the whole parameter list, she's lowkey simple like that.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works: it searches through the PLDM records and finds the first matching entry 🔥 and heads up — it's expected that only one entry matches. so like, if you've got multiple matches happening, that's not the vibe the code is anticipating, iykyk 🙈

then it stores a pointer to the matching record, if one was found. slay 💅 found it? pointer stored. iconic behavior.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• zero on success 🎉
• -ENOENT if no matching record is found 😭

that's the whole return contract, no secret bonus values, fr fr.
