VFS_ROOTMOUNTALLOC(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is VFS_ROOTMOUNTALLOC(9) from the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it's literally the page for vfs_rootmountalloc. What does it do? It allocates a root mount structure. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the incantation — copy it exactly, don't freestyle the headers, bestie:

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>

int
vfs_rootmountalloc(char *fstypename, char *devname, struct mount **mpp);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

vfs_rootmountalloc() allocates a mount structure initialized from the vfsconf type that matches fstypename. That's the plot. It's giving "make me a mount structure, but base it on the vfsconf type matching fstypename." No cap. ✨

✅ RETURN VALUES ✅

If successful, 0 is returned and mpp points to the newly allocated mount structure. Slay. 🫶

ENODEV is returned if fstypename is NULL or invalid. That's the bad-vibes return, not a success — noted, bestie. 😭
