👑 udf_fiiter_find_entry(9) 👑

okay so bestie, this is straight from the Kernel API Manual — section 9 energy — and it's all about udf_fiiter_find_entry(9). yes, the name has “fiiter” in it, and we are not fixing it, we are respecting the lore 💅

✨ NAME ✨

udf_fiiter_find_entry — find entry in given directory.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int udf_fiiter_find_entry (struct inode *dir , const struct qstr *child
       , struct udf_fileident_iter *iter );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• dir — the directory inode to search in. that’s the place we’re snooping around 💖
• child — the qstr of the name. literally the name we’re hunting for ✨
• iter — the iter to use for searching. bestie, it’s the little iterator doing the legwork 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So udf_fiiter_find_entry searches inside the directory dir for a file name child. When it finds it, iter points to the position in the directory with the given entry. iconic behavior, no notes 👑

It returns 0 on success, and < 0 on error (including -ENOENT). zero is slay, negative is not it 😭
