KNET_LINK...ONG_COUNT(3)

💖 knet_link_set_pong_count — from the Kronosnet Programmer's Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about knet_link_set_pong_count 🎀 this one lives in section 3 of the Kronosnet Programmer's Manual, so it's a library call, not a command — iykyk ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

knet_link_set_pong_count — set the pong count for a link. literally that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libknet.h>

int knet_link_set_pong_count(
    knet_handle_t   knet_h,
    knet_node_id_t  host_id,
    uint8_t         link_id,
    uint8_t         pong_count
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. knet_link_set_pong_count 🫶 here's what each little argument is doing:

• knet_h — pointer to knet_handle_t. your main character handle 💜
• host_id — see knet_host_add(3) for the tea on this one
• link_id — see knet_link_set_config(3), it'll fill you in
• pong_count — how many valid ping/pongs need to happen before a link gets marked UP. default: 5, and the value should be > 0 ⭐

no cap, if you hand it a pong_count of zero or below you're not slaying, you're just causing problems 🙈

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

knet_link_set_pong_count returns 0 on success, -1 on error, and errno is set. classic. 💀
