tomoyo_compare_name_union(9)

💖 tomoyo_compare_name_union(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — we’re looking at tomoyo_compare_name_union(9) today, and it’s giving “does this name match this union or not” energy, iconic little check, no cap ✨.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_compare_name_union — check whether a name matches struct tomoyo_name_union or not. That’s literally the whole assignment, bestie 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const struct tomoyo_path_info * tomoyo_compare_name_union (const struct
tomoyo_path_info *name , const struct tomoyo_name_union *ptr );

Exact signature, no edits, we keep it pristine 😌.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — pointer to struct tomoyo_path_info. That’s the name pointer, periodt 📛.
• ptr — pointer to struct tomoyo_name_union. That’s the union pointer, slay 🫶.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

If name matches ptr, it returns struct tomoyo_path_info; otherwise it returns NULL. That’s the whole outcome, bestie ✅. Match = the struct comes back; no match = NULL; that’s the vibe check, periodt 💅.
