simple_offset_init(9)

💫 simple_offset_init(9) 💫

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly so chill — it's giving "little function, big responsibilities" and I'm obsessed 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

simple_offset_init — bestie, this is the one that initializes an offset_ctx 💅 like it literally sets the whole thing up so it can live its life

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void simple_offset_init (struct offset_ctx *octx );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap, it's a one-liner and she ate 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• octx — the directory offset map that's getting initialized ✨ this is the glow-up appointment, she goes in as a plain struct offset_ctx * and comes out ready 💖
