💅 vt_do_kdgkbmeta(9) — aka the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and the star of the show is vt_do_kdgkbmeta(9). it's a tiny little function with one job and honestly? it ate. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

vt_do_kdgkbmeta — report meta status 🫶

like, it literally just tells you what the meta status is. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vt_do_kdgkbmeta (unsigned int console );

that's it. that's the whole signature. short, sweet, iconic 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• console — the console you want to report on 💖 (yes, the console to report, she said what she said)

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what does it actually do? it reports the meta flag status of this console. that's it! that's the function! no cap, that's genuinely the entire description 💀

think of it as a little vibe check for the meta flag — you hand it a console, it hands you back the status. main character energy for a one-line kernel helper, honestly 🌈

lowkey the whole function is just "what's the meta status tho" and i respect that so much 🙈
