rproc_coredump_set_elf_info(9)

✨ rproc_coredump_set_elf_info — set coredump elf information ✨

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual 💖 and this is the page for rproc_coredump_set_elf_info(9). yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rproc_coredump_set_elf_info (struct rproc *rproc , u8 class , u16
       machine );

literally just one function call, we love a low-effort icon 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rproc — the handle of a remote processor. it's giving "hey bestie, which one" 🌈
• class — the elf class for the coredump elf file. type is u8 btw, keep it cute and keep it small 💅
• machine — the elf machine for the coredump elf file. type is u16, slightly roomier, still not huge 🍓

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it sets the elf information that's gonna be used for the coredump elf file. that's the whole vibe. you hand it the elf class and the elf machine, and it stamps that info onto rproc so later, when the coredump elf file gets built, it knows what it's working with. main character setup energy fr fr ✨

ngl this is the before step, okay? it just sets the info — the coredump itself happens somewhere else (see SEE ALSO down there 👀).

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success 🎉 slay
• negative errno on error 😭 so like, check it, bestie. no cap.
