✨ vbg_hgcm_do_call(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a kernel API manual page — the vbg_hgcm_do_call(9) one — and it's literally all about performing a call and then waiting for it to complete. like, the whole vibe is "do the thing and stick around till it's done." 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vbg_hgcm_do_call — performs the call and the completion wait. yeah, it does both. main character energy fr fr. 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int vbg_hgcm_do_call (struct vbg_dev *gdev , struct vmmdev_hgcm_call
*call , u32 timeout_ms , bool interruptible , bool *leak_it );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gdev — the VBoxGuest device extension. that's your device context, bestie, the whole reason this works. ✨
• call — the call to execute. like, the actual thing you're running. go off. 🔥
• timeout_ms — timeout in ms. how long you're willing to wait before you're like "okay i'm done." ⏰
• interruptible — whether this call is interruptible. iykyk — if it's true, signals can interrupt it; ngl this matters. 🙈
• leak_it — where to return the leak it / free it indicator. also known, iconically, as Cancellation fun. (that's literally what the original says and we're keeping it, periodt.) 💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns 0 or a negative errno value. that's it. no cap. if it's 0 you're slaying, if it's negative it's giving error vibes. 😭
