💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to vdo_get_device_name(9) — yes, the one from the Kernel API Manual. this page is here for vdo_get_device_name: it gets the device name associated with the vdo target. that's the whole assignment, and it ate. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char * vdo_get_device_name (const struct dm_target *target );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• target — the target device interface. that's the argument, periodt. 🫶

🦋 RETURN 🦋

The block device name. that's what you get back, no cap. 💅
