🦋 smk_parse_label_len(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for smk_parse_label_len(9) — we love a niche kernel helper 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

smk_parse_label_len — calculates the length of the starting segment in the string that constitutes a valid smack label. literally that’s the whole job, and it ate 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int smk_parse_label_len (const char *string , int len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• string — a text string that might contain a Smack label at the beginning. maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t; this is the string we’re inspecting 👀
• len — the maximum size to look into, and it may be zero if string is null-terminated. so if ur string is already null-terminated, zero is valid, no cap 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It returns the length of the segment, and the range is literally 0 < L < SMK_LONGLABEL — or it returns an error code. that’s it, that’s the vibe. no extra lore on this page, bestie 😭💜
