proc_dointvec(9)

💖 proc_dointvec(9) 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for proc_dointvec, and it's literally the “read a vector of integers” icon. Bestie, it's giving sysctl-core and we're gonna walk through it together ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

proc_dointvec - read a vector of integers 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int proc_dointvec (const struct ctl_table *table , int dir , void
       *buffer , size_t *lenp , loff_t *ppos );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• table — the sysctl table, periodt.
• dir — TRUE if this is a write to the sysctl file. Like, uppercase TRUE, no cap.
• buffer — the user buffer.
• lenp — the size of the user buffer.
• ppos — file position.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what it does: reads/writes up to table->maxlen/sizeof(unsigned int) integer values from/to the user buffer, treated as an ASCII string. That's the whole vibe — integer values and ASCII-string energy, and we are obsessed 💅

💫 RETURN 💫

0 on success. That's it. Iconic.
