ubi_mtd_param_parse(9)
π ubi_mtd_param_parse(9) β the kernel API manual, but make it cute
Okay bestie, so this one is a kernel API manual page for ubi_mtd_param_parse, and honestly? It's giving "tiny function, huge friend group." Let's get into it fr fr. π
β¨ NAME β¨
ubi_mtd_param_parse β the little parser that handles the 'mtd=' UBI parameter. Yes, that's the whole job. Iconic, lowkey. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int ubi_mtd_param_parse (const char *val , const struct kernel_param *kp
);
Like, look at her. Two arguments, one int return. Simple queen behavior. π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
valβ the parameter value you're parsing. This is the main character of the operation, ngl. π«Άkpβ not used. That's it. That's the whole description. She's just there for the vibes, sitting in the parameter list, contributing nothing. Respect. π
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the tea: this function returns zero in case of success and a negative error code in case of error. That's literally the whole contract. No surprises, no drama, no hidden side quests. Vibe check passed. β
Bestie note: zero = slay, negative = something went wrong. That's the entire mood. Don't overthink it. π
π SEE ALSO π
Okay this is the part where the friend group gets massive, so buckle up. All of these cuties are referenced together:

Like I said: big friend group, all connected, all living in the same kernel neighborhood. π§
β¨ and that's the whole page, bestie β¨ This little gem lives in ./drivers/mtd/ubi and the page is dated October 2026 β so yeah, future vibes. Go forth and parse those 'mtd=' parameters with confidence. You've got this, fr fr. πππ
