tomoyo_parse_ulong(9)

💅 tomoyo_parse_ulong(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tomoyo_parse_ulong(9) — yes that's the title, yes we're doing this, and yes it's gonna slay ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

tomoyo_parse_ulong — the glow-up that takes your string and parses an "unsigned long" value out of it. literally her whole job 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 tomoyo_parse_ulong (unsigned long *result , char **str );

that's the whole vibe. u8 in, u8 out, two pointers in the middle. periodt 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• result — a pointer to "unsigned long". that's where the parsed number goes, she's the main character of storage here 👑
• str — a pointer to the string to parse. the raw material, the input, the moment before the makeover 💅

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she actually return? she returns one of the values in "enum tomoyo_value_type". that's the answer, that's the tea, no cap ☕✨

and here's the lil detail you gotta hold onto: on success, src is updated to point at the first character after the value. so it's not just "here's a number", it's "here's a number and also here's exactly where the number stopped" — very considerate, very thoughtful, we love a pointer that knows its boundaries 🧚

ngl the page literally says src here even though the argument up top is named str — i'm quoting it exactly as written, don't come for me 😭 iykyk
