💅 ubi_vtbl_rename_volumes(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for ubi_vtbl_rename_volumes, and yes it's a kernel function, and yes it's about renaming UBI volumes in the volume table. it's giving very niche, very powerful, very main character. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ubi_vtbl_rename_volumes — rename UBI volumes in the volume table. that's literally the whole job. iconic. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ubi_vtbl_rename_volumes (struct ubi_device *ubi , struct list_head
       *rename_list );

yes the line break is real, don't @ me, it's exactly how it's written 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ubi — the UBI device description object 🦋 (your device, your fave, the thing you're doing stuff to).
  • rename_list — a list of struct ubi_rename_entry objects. yes it's a list, yes it handles multiple entries, she's multitasking 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function re-names multiple volumes — note the multiple, it's not doing one-at-a-time like a coward — that are specified in req in the volume table 📝✨

it returns zero in case of success (slay 🎉) and a negative error code in case of failure (😭 but at least she tells you honestly). periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
