xprt_get(9)

💖 xprt_get(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> ✨ this one's called xprt_get(9) and it's short, sweet, and honestly kind of a baddie for it. No cap, we're in and out. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xprt_get — return a reference to an RPC transport.

literally that's the whole job. she shows up, hands you a reference to an RPC transport, leaves. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct rpc_xprt * xprt_get (struct rpc_xprt *xprt );

look at that return type. struct rpc_xprt * on the left, function named xprt_get, and one single argument in the parentheses. tidy. clean. the way that it's formatted EXACTLY like this and you should copy it exactly like this 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• xprt — pointer to the transport 💫 yeah that's it. one (1) argument. she's low maintenance, she's struct rpc_xprt *, she's the whole personality of this function.

reminder bestie: the funny formatting — the space before that closing paren in xprt_get (struct rpc_xprt *xprt ); — that's on purpose. keep it. don't "fix" it, i'm begging 😭
