scan_get_nnode(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for scan_get_nnode(9) 💖✨ and the vibe is literally “for the scan, get a nnode from either the tree or flash.” no cap, that's the name description in full, and we are keeping every word of it 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ubifs_nnode * scan_get_nnode (struct ubifs_info *c , struct lpt_scan_node *path , struct ubifs_nnode *parent , int iip );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. main-character context, periodt 💅
• path — where to put the nnode. yes bestie, this is the drop-off spot 🫶
• parent — parent of the nnode. family-tree energy 🌈
• iip — index in parent of the nnode. the exact spot inside the parent, iykyk ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so hear me out: this function returns a pointer to the nnode on success, or a negative error code on failure. that's the whole plot, no plot twists 😭💖
