πŸ’– struct luo_file_ser(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct luo_file_ser β€” it's a whole vibe, it's a little struct, and we're gonna get into it. no gatekeeping here πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

struct luo_file_ser β€” literally the thing that represents the serialized preserves files. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct luo_file_ser {
    char compatible[LIVEUPDATE_HNDL_COMPAT_LENGTH];
    u64 data;
    u64 token;
 };

like, look at her. three fields. knows exactly what she wants. main character energy fr fr πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • compatible β€” the file handler compatible string. it's a char array sized LIVEUPDATE_HNDL_COMPAT_LENGTH, so like… it has boundaries and we respect them 🫢
  • data β€” private data. that's it. it's u64, it's private, don't ask her what she does on weekends 😭
  • token β€” the user provided token for this file. user said "here's your token", and this field is like "say less" ✨

πŸ‘‘ Description πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea: if this structure gets modified β€” like, at all β€” you must update LUO_ABI_COMPATIBLE. no cap. do not skip this. do not "get to it later." do not text back "omw" and then not come. the ABI is watching πŸ‘€

seriously bestie, this isn't a suggestion, it's a requirement. change the struct β†’ update LUO_ABI_COMPATIBLE. periodt. πŸ’…
