ubifs_run_commit(9)

💅 ubifs_run_commit(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual vibe, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (ubifs_run_commit(9), yes that's the whole title, we're being official today 🎀) and it's honestly short and sweet — a little function that either kicks off a commit or waits around for one, iykyk.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ubifs_run_commit — run or wait for commit. that's it. that's the whole name section. she's concise 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ubifs_run_commit (struct ubifs_info *c );

one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. very demure, very mindful 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. literally the whole filesystem's little ID card, you hand it over and the function knows who it's dealing with 💖

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? she runs commit 🔥. and then — this is the important part, don't zone out on me — she returns zero in case of success, and a negative error code in case of failure 😭. that's the entire contract. no cap, that's it.

like, zero = we ate, negative = we did not eat, and you should probably check that return value instead of just vibing past it 🙈
