NAME

6       debugfs_create_symlink - create a symbolic link in the debugfs
7       filesystem
8

SYNOPSIS

10       struct dentry * debugfs_create_symlink(const char * name,
11                                              struct dentry * parent,
12                                              const char * target);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       name
16           a pointer to a string containing the name of the symbolic link to
17           create.
18
19       parent
20           a pointer to the parent dentry for this symbolic link. This should
21           be a directory dentry if set. If this paramater is NULL, then the
22           symbolic link will be created in the root of the debugfs
23           filesystem.
24
25       target
26           a pointer to a string containing the path to the target of the
27           symbolic link.

DESCRIPTION

30       This function creates a symbolic link with the given name in debugfs
31       that links to the given target path.
32
33       This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This
34       pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove function when the symbolic
35       link is to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is
36       unloaded, you are responsible here.) If an error occurs, NULL will be
37       returned.
38
39       If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV will be
40       returned.
