proc_douintvec_conv(9)

proc_douintvec_conv(9) 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual entry for proc_douintvec_conv, and bestie, it’s literally about reading a vector of unsigned ints with a custom converter ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

proc_douintvec_conv — read a vector of unsigned ints with a custom converter 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int proc_douintvec_conv (const struct ctl_table *table , int dir , void *buffer , size_t *lenp , loff_t *ppos , int (*conv)(bool *negp, ulong *u_ptr, uint *k_ptr, int dir, const struct ctl_table *table) );

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• table — the sysctl table, iconic, essential, no notes 💅
• dir — TRUE if this is a write to the sysctl file 👑
• buffer — the user buffer, the main character fr fr
• lenp — the size of the user buffer 🫶
• ppos — file position, yes bestie, the file position 😌
• conv — Custom converter call back 🔥

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does is: reads/writes up to table->maxlen/sizeof(unsigned int) unsigned integer values from/to the user buffer, and the user buffer is treated as an ASCII string 🌸

and negative strings are not allowed — that’s the rule, periodt 💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, slay ✅
