okay so real talk, this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it is lowkey iconic: read_ltab reads LPT's own lprops table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int read_ltab (struct ubifs_info *c );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. she's the main character here, everything runs through her 💖

🧚 DESCRIPTION
