rename_volumes(9)

💅 rename_volumes(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so welcome to rename_volumes(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's a little helper function and honestly it's giving "backstage crew at the volume-renaming show" energy — not the star, but nothing happens without it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rename_volumes — rename UBI volumes ✨

Literally what it says on the tin, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int rename_volumes (struct ubi_device *ubi , struct ubi_rnvol_req *req
);

(it's giving slightly chaotic spacing and we respect it, copy it exact okay 🫶)

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ubi — the UBI device description object 🌈 like, the whole device's little ID card.
• req — the volumes re-name request 🎀 the actual "hi yes I'd like these volumes renamed" note.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕ rename_volumes is a helper function for the volume re-name IOCTL. It does the unglamorous main-character-adjacent work:

• it validates the request ✅
• it opens the volume 📂
• it calls the corresponding volumes management function 🧚

and then it reports back:

• returns zero in case of success 🎉 slay
• returns a negative error code in case of failure 😭 it's not mad, it's just disappointed

that's it, that's the whole vibe. no secret lore, no extra flags, periodt 💀

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./drivers/mtd/ubi/cdev.c — yes, the actual file, go look, iykyk 👀
• get_exclusive(9)
• revoke_exclusive(9)
• verify_mkvol_req(9)
• verify_rsvol_req(9)

like a little friend group of functions, all linked up 🫶✨
