tomoyo_sys_getpid(9)

💖 tomoyo_sys_getpid(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tomoyo_sys_getpid(9) — it’s giving “tiny helper, big main-character energy,” and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_sys_getpid — a copy of getpid(). literally that’s the whole name, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pid_t tomoyo_sys_getpid (void );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. not a single one. zero. nada. the void is voiding. 😭

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

It returns the current thread’s PID. that’s it, that’s the vibe. 🫶

Okay but here’s the lore: Alpha does not have getpid defined. To be able to build this module on Alpha, I have to copy getpid from kernel/timer.c. yes bestie, a whole copy moment so this module can build on Alpha. 💀✨
