💖 tomoyo_encode2(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about tomoyo_encode2(9). it's giving “binary string goes in, ascii string comes out” energy, and we're gonna get into it. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_encode2 — Encode binary string to ascii string.

like, literally that's the whole assignment: binary string → ascii string. slay. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char * tomoyo_encode2 (const char *str , int str_len );

that's the exact signature, no cap. keep those spaces and punctuation exactly as they are, bestie. 🫶

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• str — String in binary format.
• str_len — Size of str in byte.

so yeah, str is the binary-format string, and str_len is its size in byte. very demure, very straightforward. 🎀

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Returns pointer to str in ascii format on success, NULL otherwise.

This function uses kzalloc, so caller must kfree if this function didn't return NULL.

bestie, do NOT forget the kfree part if it didn't return NULL. that's a whole memory-cleanup moment, and we are not skipping it. 💀✨
