tomoyo_merge_inet_acl(9)

💅 tomoyo_merge_inet_acl(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual moment 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to tomoyo_merge_inet_acl from the Kernel API Manual — yes that Kernel API Manual, the one with the aesthetic of a 1993 terminal and the vibes of a group chat at 2am ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_merge_inet_acl — merges a duplicated "struct tomoyo_inet_acl" entry. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool tomoyo_merge_inet_acl (struct tomoyo_acl_info *a , struct
tomoyo_acl_info *b , const bool is_delete );

no cap, that's the exact signature — copy it character for character or the compiler will absolutely humble you 😭

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• a — pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". your main character struct, fr fr 👑
• b — pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". the other one. the sidekick. the dupe 🫶
• is_delete — true for a &= ~b, false for a |= b. literally the whole mood switch of this function, ngl. true means you're clearing bits, false means you're setting them 💀

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

returns true if a is empty, false otherwise. that's the tea ☕ that's the entire description. short and slay, we love a low-effort legend ✨

subtle but important bestie: the return is about whether a is empty, not whether the merge "worked" — don't @ me, that's just what the page says 🎀
