STRUCT YNL_STRING(9)

💖 struct ynl_string(9) — parsed individual string 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to this Kernel API Manual moment about struct ynl_string — literally the parsed individual string vibe. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct ynl_string — parsed individual string

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ynl_string {
    unsigned int len;
    char str[];
};

🫶 Members 🫶

• len — length of the string (excluding terminating character). yes bestie, it does not count that terminating character 💅
• str — value of the string. iconic. the actual string content lives here ✨

🌈 Description 🌈

So it's a parsed and nul-terminated string. The important plot twist: this struct is only used for arrays of strings. Non-array string members are placed directly in the respective types. no cap 🫶
