proc_first_p..._zero_ignore(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this page is proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and the whole vibe is, literally: proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore - check if first position is allowed. That’s the name, that’s the job, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the signature, copied exactly because we do not mess with code in this house:

bool proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore (loff_t *ppos , const struct
       ctl_table *table );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• ppos — file position. literally the file position, bestie.
• table — the sysctl table. iconic table behavior.

🎀 RETURN 🎀

It gives you true if the first position is non-zero and the sysctl_writes_strict mode indicates this is not allowed for numeric input types. String proc handlers can ignore the return value. no cap, that’s the whole return tea. 🍵
