ref_tracker_dir_init(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ref_tracker_dir_init — bestie, this is the one that initializes a ref_tracker dir ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ref_tracker_dir_init (struct ref_tracker_dir *dir , unsigned int
quarantine_count , const char *class );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dir — the ref_tracker_dir that's getting initialized, like it's getting its glam done 💅
• quarantine_count — the max number of entries that can be tracked, no cap on how much it can hold past this 👀
• class — pointer to a static string describing the object type, so it's giving "permanent label" energy, not "random stack string" energy 🏷️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this literally just initializes a ref_tracker_dir 🫶. That's the whole vibe.

But also — if debugfs is configured, then a file gets created for it under the top-level ref_tracker debugfs directory too. So you get a little debugfs artifact out of the deal, slay ✨.

⚠️ Heads up bestie, this is the important one: class must point to a static string. Not a stack buffer, not some temporary thing you made two lines ago. Static. Periodt 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
