okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is ubifs_pack_pnode 🎀 this is the glowy little helper that lives in the UBIFS gang and its whole job is literally just: pack all the bit fields of a pnode. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME

ubifs_pack_pnode — pack all the bit fields of a pnode. no cap, that's the entire plot. 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS

void ubifs_pack_pnode (struct ubifs_info *c , void *buf , struct
ubifs_pnode *pnode );

it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt. 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. it's giving "hey bestie here's my whole file system, handle it with care" 👑
• buf — the buffer into which to pack. this is the little container everything gets shoved into 📦✨
• pnode — the pnode to pack. the star of the show, the one getting packed, main character energy fr fr 💖

💡 friendly reminder: this one is a packer, so if you're looking for the reverse situation, that's unpack_pnode(9) and ubifs_unpack_bits(9) — they're already in the list above, iykyk. 🧚
