💅 tomoyo_merge_path2_acl — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-api girlies know 👑), and today's main character is tomoyo_merge_path2_acl. Buckle up, it's a short one but it EATS. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_merge_path2_acl — merges a duplicated "struct tomoyo_path2_acl" entry. that's it, that's the whole job. lowkey iconic for it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool tomoyo_merge_path2_acl (struct tomoyo_acl_info *a , struct
tomoyo_acl_info *b , const bool is_delete );

copy it exactly bestie, character for character, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• a — a pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". yes, the quotes are part of the bit, keep 'em 💖
• b — another pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". sibling energy fr fr.
• is_delete — the vibe check flag: true means it does a &= ~b, and false means it does a |= b. literally the whole personality of this function right here 🌈

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically it returns true if a is empty, and false if it's not. that's the entire behavior, no extra lore, no secret sauce, we love a clean contract ✨
