💅 register_pstore_zone(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, buckle up, because this one is short but she is mighty ✨ it's a kernel API page, so we're deep in the source-code group chat rn. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

register_pstore_zone — the function that registers you to pstore/zone 🫶 like, you're literally signing the guestbook but for persistent storage zones.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int register_pstore_zone (struct pstore_zone_info *info );

that's her. that's the whole signature. iconic of her honestly 💅

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• info — this is the back-end driver information 🎀 she's your whole personality file tbh. See struct pstore_zone_info. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe check: only one back-end at one time. periodt. 🚨

like, one. singular. no sharing, no "but what if I bring a friend," none of that. if you're the back-end, you're the back-end. main character energy only 🌟
