🎀 unpack_vdo_config(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, you’re on the Kernel API Manual page for unpack_vdo_config(9). This one is lowkey simple: packed config goes in, native in-memory config comes out. Let’s get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

unpack_vdo_config — Convert a packed_vdo_config to its native in-memory representation.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct vdo_config unpack_vdo_config (struct packed_vdo_config config );

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

Here’s the one argument, and yes she matters:

• config — the packed vdo config to convert. Hand over the packed one and let the function do its thing 🫶

🌈 RETURN 🌈

The native in-memory representation of the vdo config. That’s the whole serve ✨
