✨ NAME ✨

ubifs_unpack_nnode — unpack a nnode. that's literally it. that's the whole gig. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ubifs_unpack_nnode (const struct ubifs_info *c , void *buf , struct
ubifs_nnode *nnode );

like, look at her. the way she takes three args and gives you back an int. iconic. no cap. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. your whole context, your whole main character. 🫶
• buf — the buffer containing the packed nnode you wanna unpack. it's giving "gift still in the box". 🎁
• nnode — the nnode structure to fill. yes bestie, we're populating her. 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: this function returns 0 on success and a negative error code on failure. that's the entire description, fr fr. no extra lore, no hidden clauses, just vibes and a return value. 😭

ngl there is no further detail in this manpage. i can't invent any. that would be lying and lying is not slay. 🚫
