tomoyo_notify_gc(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to tomoyo_notify_gc(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the function that handles register/unregister for /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ users. that's the whole assignment, and it ate 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tomoyo_notify_gc (struct tomoyo_io_buffer *head , const bool is_register );

no cap, that's the exact signature — keep it character-for-character if you're typing it out, bestie 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• head — pointer to struct tomoyo_io_buffer. literally a pointer to that struct, periodt.
• is_register — true if register, false if unregister. that's the vibe check, and those are the only two moods 🦋.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns nothing. void. empty. no return value to catch, no lil gift at the end — it just does its thing 😭.
