IXP_MOUNT(3)

💖 IXP_MOUNT(3) 💖

okay so this is the IXP_MOUNT(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s giving “let’s open a 9P connection” energy ✨. It covers ixp_mount, ixp_mountfd, ixp_nsmount, and the IxpClient type — and yes bestie, every signature, field, and parameter is staying exactly where it belongs 💅 slay.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixp_mount, ixp_mountfd, ixp_nsmount, IxpClient — the little crew of functions/types this page is about 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

IxpClient *ixp_mount(const char *address);

IxpClient *ixp_mountfd(int fd);

IxpClient *ixp_nsmount(const char *name);

typedef struct IxpClient IxpClient;
struct IxpClient {
        int     fd;
        uint    msize;
        uint    lastfid;

        /* Private members */
        ...
}

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• fd — a file descriptor which is already connected to a 9P server. like, it’s already linked up, bestie 🔥
• address — an address (in Plan 9 resource fomat — yep, fomat, keeping that spelling exactly as written 😭) at which to connect to a 9P server.
• name — the name of a socket in the process's canonical namespace directory.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Initiate a 9P connection with the server at address, connected to on fd, or under the process's namespace directory as name. that’s the whole vibe check: pick your connection flavor, and go 👑 periodt.

A pointer to a new 9P client. literally that’s the return, no cap 💖
