update_moved_ino(9)

💅 update_moved_ino(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one — we're literally just updating an inode that's getting moved. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

update_moved_ino — update an inode that's being moved 🔥

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int update_moved_ino (struct gfs2_inode *ip , struct gfs2_inode *ndip ,
int dir_rename );

that's it. three args, one int back. iconic honestly. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ip — the inode that's being moved. yeah. that one. the main character. 🫶
• ndip — the parent directory of the new filename. like, where it's moving to. the new address, if you will 💅
• dir_rename — True when ip is a directory. so if the thing you're moving is itself a directory, this gets set to true. important detail, don't skip it 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

errno — that's the return value, bestie. errno. literally what it says. 🌈
