💅 tomoyo_get_dqword(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so real talk, this page lives in section 9 of the kernel API manual, and it's literally just tomoyo_get_name() but for a quoted string. That's the whole vibe. Short page, iconic energy, let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_get_dqword — it's tomoyo_get_name() for a quoted string, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const struct tomoyo_path_info * tomoyo_get_dqword (char *start );

That's the whole signature, copied exactly, no cap. Note the return type is a pointer to const struct tomoyo_path_info and the param is a plain char * named start. 🦋

🎯 ARGUMENTS 🎯

  • start — the string to save. That's it, that's the whole argument. She's a simple girl with one job 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's what happens: it returns a pointer to struct tomoyo_path_info on success, and NULL otherwise. That's the entire deal — no surprises, no plot twists, just a happy little pointer or a NULL when things don't work out 😭

Lowkey the cleanest function description ever written. Respect. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file: ./security/tomoyo/condition.c — that's where the magic lives, bestie. Go read it, iykyk.

And then a whole friend group of functions, all in section 9, all here for you:

Not a single one skipped, we listed all fourteen because we don't do half-finished over here 💜

Fr fr go check on tomoyo_parse_name_union_quoted(9) too, it's giving sibling energy and the quoted-string obsession is clearly a family thing 🌈

So that's the page! Happy hacking, and remember: always check your pointers before you dereference them, main character energy only 💀✨
