sock_flush(3z)

✨ NAME ✨

sock_flush — bestie, it flushes a network connection 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <net/socket.h>

void sock_flush(SOCKET *s);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the parameter s? That's a descriptor to an open socket, and you make those with sock_open(3z) or sock_listen(3z). Also, your socket should be of type prot_TCP. like, that's the vibe it needs to be, no cap.

So what does sock_flush() actually do? It depends on the state of the connection, bestie. Depending on that state, it will either:

• immediately send any pending data that's chilling in the socket buffer, or
• flag that data for sending in the next timer call

Either way the data is getting handled, it's just about when. Iconic honestly. 🎀

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

None. That's it. Nothing comes back. She returns nothing and she's at peace with that. 🙈
