vdo_get_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to this Kernel API Manual page. the star of the show is vdo_get_state(9) — the function vdo_get_state — and what does it do? it gets the current state of the vdo. that's it. that's the whole name. no cap, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the exact signature, bestie — don't touch the characters:

enum vdo_state vdo_get_state (const struct vdo *vdo );

one function, one argument, one return type. lowkey simple. highkey useful. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vdo — the vdo. that's the argument. just the vdo. the one and only. it's giving "no notes." 🎀

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

okay so context check, bestie: this method may be called from any thread. literally any thread. no restrictions. no cap. you can call it from wherever you're at. ✨

this is a no-gatekeeping zone. any thread. periodt. 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it returns the current state of the vdo. that's the tea. ☕ the type is enum vdo_state (see synopsis, bestie). so you get the state, you get the answer, you get the vibe check results. 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so the SEE ALSO section is LONG and I'm obsessed with it. every single reference, no skips, no cap:

the way this list ate. 💅 iykyk.
