ubi_open_volume_nm(9)

✨ ubi_open_volume_nm ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ubi_open_volume_nm — yes that's a (9) section page, we're in kernel-dev territory now and you're gonna slay it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ubi_volume_desc * ubi_open_volume_nm (int ubi_num , const char *name , int mode );

that's the whole vibe right there 🫶 a pointer to a struct ubi_volume_desc comes back at you, and you feed it three things:

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ubi_num — the UBI device number, like which device you're sliding into 👑
• name — the volume name, literally the name of the volume, no cap
• mode — the open mode, aka how you wanna open this thing

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this function is similar to ubi_open_volume, except it opens a volume by name instead. same energy, different lookup, iykyk 💜 literally the "wait, find it by its name not its number" sibling and honestly? iconic.

and that's a wrap, mwah 💖 this page shipped straight outta ./drivers/mtd/ubi and it's dated October 2026 — go forth and open volumes by name, main character energy only 🌈🎀
