ttm_base_object_init(9)

okay so bestie 💖 welcome to ttm_base_object_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel API, and we're gonna read it together like a group chat 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ttm_base_object_init - — yep, the summary after the dash is blank in the source, so we're literally just here with the name and the vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the signature exactly as the page gives it — no edits, no "fixing" the spacing, periodt 💅

       int ttm_base_object_init (struct ttm_object_file *tfile , struct
       ttm_base_object *base , bool shareable , enum ttm_object_type type ,
       void (*refcount_release) (struct ttm_base_object **) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tfile — Pointer to a struct ttm_object_file. That's the pointer, full stop.
• base — The struct ttm_base_object to initialize. This is the object you're bringing to life, main character energy ✨
• shareable — This object is shareable with other applications. (different tfile pointers.) Different tfile pointers, iykyk 👀
• type — The object type. The type, bestie — the object type.
• refcount_release — See the struct ttm_base_object description. It's giving "go read the struct description," fr fr 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Initializes a struct ttm_base_object. That's the whole description, no cap — it initializes the struct, and that's iconic.
