VOP_PRINT(9)

💖 VOP_PRINT — bestie's guide to printing debug info 💖

okay so this is the VOP_PRINT(9) page, aka the kernel developer's manual entry for a little function that just... prints stuff. for debugging. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic of it.

✨ NAME ✨

VOP_PRINT — print debugging information

like. it prints debugging information. no cap. that's it, that's the function. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

int
VOP_PRINT(struct vnode *vp);

so you gotta pull in both headers first — <sys/param.h> and <sys/vnode.h> — and then boom, VOP_PRINT is yours. it takes one struct vnode * and hands you back an int. simple. clean. ate. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the arguments are:

• vp — the vnode to print. that's the one. the only one. you hand it a vnode and it prints it. give it literally anything else and that's a you problem, bestie. 😭

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned. so like — 0 means we slayed, anything else means something went sideways. always check your return values, fr fr. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• vnode(9) — go read that one too, iykyk. 🌈

🎀 AUTHORS 🎀

This manual page was written by Doug Rabson. thank you Doug, you absolute legend, we are obsessed. 👑

no notes, no drama, just a vnode getting printed. main character energy from a debug function, honestly. 💜

and that's the whole vibe check! this one's from the Debian crew, dated July 24, 1996 — yeah, 1996, it's vintage, it's a classic, it's giving old money 💀💖 — and it lives in the Kernel Developer's Manual. bye bestie, go print a vnode! 🧚🌸
