💅 tomoyo_pathcmp(9) — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so real talk? this one's a whole little icon. it's tomoyo_pathcmp, a kernel function living its best life in the TOMOYO security subsystem, and honestly it's giving "small but mighty." 🎀 everybody say thank you to tomoyo_pathcmp(9) for existing.

✨ NAME ✨

tomoyo_pathcmp — bestie, it's literally strcmp() for the "struct tomoyo_path_info" structure. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool tomoyo_pathcmp (const struct tomoyo_path_info *a , const struct
tomoyo_path_info *b );

look at her. two pointers, one bool, zero drama. she said "I only do one job and I do it flawlessly." 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • a — pointer to "struct tomoyo_path_info". yes, the quotes are part of the original energy, we keep them, we respect them 🫶
  • b — pointer to "struct tomoyo_path_info". the other half of this iconic duo. they're literally matching. it's giving twin flames 🔥

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the tea: it returns true if a == b, and false otherwise. that's it. that's the function. she's short, she's sweet, she's built different, and she is NOT here to waste your time. 💅✨

like, think of it as the world's most reliable vibe check for two struct tomoyo_path_info pointers — are they the same? yes or no. no essays, no follow-up questions. periodt. 💀

ngl the whole thing is one sentence of behavior and we're obsessed with the efficiency. lowkey main character energy for a comparison function. 🎀
