STRUCT ERRORMAP(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is struct errormap(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the little matchmaker that maps string errors from Plan 9 to Linux numeric ids. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       struct errormap {
           char *name;
           int val;
           int namelen;
           struct hlist_node list;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• name — the string sent over 9P, like the error message's main character. 🫶
• val — the numeric id most closely representing name; it's giving translator energy. ✨
• namelen — the length of string. 📏
• list — the hash-table list for string lookup, lowkey keeping things findable. 🧚
