IXP_FCALL2MSG(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual, and this page is IXP_FCALL2MSG(3). The stars are ixp_fcall2msg and ixp_msg2fcall — the 9P message pack/unpack duo. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

uint ixp_fcall2msg(IxpMsg *msg, IxpFcall *fcall);

uint ixp_msg2fcall(IxpMsg *msg, IxpFcall *fcall);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

These functions pack or unpack a 9P protocol message. That's the whole assignment, fr fr.

When they do their thing, the message gets set to the appropriate mode, and its position gets set to the beginning of its buffer. Like, it's giving "reset and ready" energy. 💅

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

On success, you get the size of the message. On failure? You get 0. That's the vibe check, no cap. 😭
