vdo_find_matching(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to the vdo_find_matching(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶. vdo_find_matching — find and return the first (if any) vdo matching a given filter function. That's the whole mission, and it's lowkey iconic 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the signature is giving very C, very kernel, so copy it exactly, no cap:

struct vdo * vdo_find_matching (vdo_filter_fn filter , const void
       *context );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two little params, both here to do their thing:

• filter — the filter function to apply to vdos 🎯
• context — a bit of context to provide the filter 🧺
