xent_key_init_flash(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the xent_key_init_flash(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is here to initialize an on-flash extended attribute entry key — yes, that whole vibe. It’s giving “tiny key setup function that knows exactly what it’s doing,” no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void xent_key_init_flash (const struct ubifs_info *c , void *k , ino_t
       inum , const struct fscrypt_name *nm );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object, aka the context baddie 🫶
• k — the key you’re about to initialize, main character energy 🔑
• inum — the host inode number, periodt 💅
• nm — the extended attribute entry name and length, both of ’em 🌈
