💖 verify_mkvol_req — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to verify_mkvol_req(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the page that's here to do one very specific little vibe check. No cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

verify_mkvol_req - verify volume creation request.

Literally that's the assignment: it verifies a volume creation request. Focused, iconic, to the point. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The signature is giving exact-energy, so here it is, untouched:

int verify_mkvol_req (const struct ubi_device *ubi , const struct
       ubi_mkvol_req *req );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ubi — the UBI device description object 🫶 like the whole device's profile card.
• req — the request to check 🔍 the thing that's getting the look-over.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: this function gives you zero if the request is correct, and -EINVAL if it's not. That's it. That's the whole plot. 🌈

bestie, "correct" is doing a lot of work here — the function is the one deciding, and the two outcomes are zero and -EINVAL. Periodt. 💀
