xdr_terminate_string(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ xdr_terminate_string — the '\0' glow-up for your XDR string 💅

Okay bestie, listen up, because this one is a tiny little function with main character energy. We're in the kernel API manual for xdr_terminate_string, and it does exactly one iconic thing:

' '-terminate a string residing in an xdr_buf

That's it. That's the whole vibe. It goes in, it drops a terminator at the end of your string, and it leaves. No drama, no cap. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void xdr_terminate_string (const struct xdr_buf *buf , const u32 len );

Literally just two arguments and a whole lot of slay. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS

  • buf — the XDR buffer where your string is living its best life. It's const struct xdr_buf *, so like… we're looking, not touching. Respect the boundaries, bestie. 👀
  • len — the length of the string, in bytes. It's a u32, so keep it tidy. 📏

Ok so this function does not roll alone — it's part of a whole friend group, and here's the entire group chat, fr fr. The kernel file is ./net/sunrpc/xdr.c, and the squad is:

Like, that's a whole roster. Collect them all, iykyk. 💀🌈
