simple_offset_add(9)

hii bestie 💖 welcome to simple_offset_add(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual — we're adding one entry to a directory's offset map and honestly? it's giving main-character energy. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

simple_offset_add — add an entry to a directory's offset map 🗺️💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int simple_offset_add (struct offset_ctx *octx , struct dentry *dentry
);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• octx — the directory offset ctx that's getting updated, okayurr 🫶
• dentry — the new dentry being added, fresh out the group chat 💫

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so when this works, it returns zero — slay! 💖 On success, octx and the dentry's offset are updated. Otherwise, you get a negative errno value back 😭. That's the whole vibe check, no cap.
