tomoyo_fill_path_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 tomoyo_fill_path_info — like, the whole manual page, bestie

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-API girlies) and it's called tomoyo_fill_path_info(9). She's short. She's sweet. She's lowkey doing one job and doing it well. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_fill_path_info — fills in the members of struct tomoyo_path_info. that's it. that's the whole assignment. no cap 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void tomoyo_fill_path_info (struct tomoyo_path_info *ptr );

literally one function, one pointer, and it returns void, so don't be out here expecting a return value, bestie. she gives nothing back (affectionately) 💜

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ptr — a pointer to the struct tomoyo_path_info you want filled in. that's the one getting the glow-up. hand it over and she'll do the rest 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check: the caller is the one who sets struct tomoyo_path_info->name. not this function. you. the caller. you set the name yourself, and then you call this and she fills in the remaining members.

it's giving "you bring the name, she brings the rest" — teamwork, main character energy, slay 👑

no extra behaviour is documented here, so don't go inventing any, bestie. the manpage says what the manpage says 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

kernel file: ./security/tomoyo/util.c

the whole friend group, in order, exactly as listed — and yes, they're all (9) because we're in kernel API land 👑
