📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for v9fs_vfs_get...nocache_dotl(9) 💅 we are lowkey here to resolve a symlink directly, and the whole vibe is “no symlink caching enabled.” Let’s go ✨

💖 NAME 💖

v9fs_vfs_get_link_nocache_dotl — Resolve a symlink directly. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const char * v9fs_vfs_get_link_nocache_dotl (struct dentry *dentry ,
struct inode *inode , struct delayed_call *done );

That’s the exact signature, no cap: const char * coming back, with dentry, inode, and done in the mix. 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dentry — dentry for symlink. The dentry bestie for the symlink, periodt.
  • inode — inode for symlink. The inode bestie for the symlink, fr fr.
  • done — destructor for return value. This one handles the destructor for the return value, so the cleanup vibe is covered. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

To be used when symlink caching is not enabled. That’s it, that’s the tea: no symlink caching, so this function gets the main character energy. ✨
