💾 psz_recovery(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💾

okay so welcome to psz_recovery, a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk 🎀) — and honestly? it's a little one, but it's doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting. let's get into it ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

psz_recovery — recover data from storage 💖

like, the whole point. put the data back. rescue the vibes.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int psz_recovery (struct psz_context *cxt );

that's it. that's the whole call. one argument, one int coming back at you 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• cxt — "the context of pstore/zone" 🧚 that's your struct psz_context, the main character of this whole operation. it's the context of pstore/zone, periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does "recovery" actually mean here? 💭

recovery means reading data back from storage after rebooting 🌈

that's the whole thing. reboot happens, storage still has your stuff, and this is the function that goes and gets it back. lowkey iconic of it, fr fr. no cap, that's the entire description — she's concise 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🥳 slay
• others on failure 😭 (so like, anything that isn't 0. not a vibe.)
