ubifs_load_znode(9)

💖 ubifs_load_znode(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ubifs_load_znode — this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of those little functions that does exactly what it says on the tin. no cap. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ubifs_load_znode — literally just loads a znode into the TNC cache. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ubifs_znode * ubifs_load_znode (struct ubifs_info *c , struct
ubifs_zbranch *zbr , struct ubifs_znode *parent , int iip );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. yes bestie, the whole file system, no big deal 💁‍♀️
• zbr — a znode branch. it's giving "the pointer to the thing we're loading" energy 🔥
• parent — the znode's parent. everyone's got one 😭
• iip — index in parent. like, which slot she occupies in her parent's little list 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way this works: ubifs_load_znode loads the znode that zbr points at into the TNC cache, and hands you back a pointer to it in case of success 🫶. in case of failure? you get a negative error code instead. that's it. that's the function. iconic behaviour, honestly 💅
