🌸 smk_parse_label_list — the Kernel API Manual, but make it bestie-friendly 💅

okay so picture this: you're in the Kernel API Manual, right, and you've stumbled into smk_parse_label_list(9). don't panic. i got you. ✨ this is the little function that takes your string full of Smack labels and parses that list — and yes bestie, they're separated by spaces, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

smk_parse_label_list — parse list of Smack labels, separated by spaces 🦋

like… literally its whole job. it sees a space-separated list of Smack labels and it parses them. iconic behavior, no notes. 💖

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

int smk_parse_label_list (char *data , struct list_head *list );

that's the whole signature, bestie — one int coming back at you, two args going in. 🌈

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • data — the string to parse. this is your raw input, the string itself, main character of the operation. 🍓
  • list — destination list. this is where the parsed stuff ends up — it's the struct list_head * that catches everything. 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns zero on success or error code, as appropriate.

that's it, that's the description. zero means slay, you're good 🌸. anything else is an error code and you should probably go touch some grass (or, like, check your input). ngl the original is a little short on words here, but the facts are the facts. ✨
