💅 unpack_vdo_component_41_0(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up page for unpack_vdo_component_41_0(9) ✨ this is a kernel API manual page and honestly it's a short one, so we're gonna get very cozy about it.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

unpack_vdo_component_41_0 — the way it literally converts a packed_vdo_component_41_0 into its native in-memory representation 🦋

like, packed goes in, native comes out. that's the whole plot. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct vdo_component unpack_vdo_component_41_0 (struct
packed_vdo_component_41_0 component );

that's it, that's the signature. she's a function. she takes one thing and gives you back a struct. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• component — the packed vdo component data you want converted. this is the raw little packed guy you're handing over to be unpacked 💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the native in-memory representation of the component. that's the glow-up result, the unpacked version, the final form 🫶
