🦋 NAME

unlock_4_inodes — a wrapper for unlocking three UBIFS inodes for rename.

not me pointing out that the name says four and the description says three 🙈 that's literally what the page says though, so we're keeping it exactly as written, no cap. iykyk 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void unlock_4_inodes (struct inode *inode1 , struct inode *inode2 ,
struct inode *inode3 , struct inode *inode4 );

it returns void, bestie — nothing comes back, it just does the thing and dips 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS

four inodes, all struct inode *, all just… inodes. keeping it simple, iconic behaviour honestly 💅

  • inode1 — first inode
  • inode2 — second inode
  • inode3 — third inode
  • inode4 — fourth inode

that's it, that's the whole argument list 🌈 one through four, in order, please and thank you 🎀
