PROBE::SOCKET.SEND(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

probe::socket.sendmsg.return — the moment we come back from socket.sendmsg, bestie 💖 (it's a Socket Tapset page, iykyk)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

probe socket.sendmsg.return {}

🌸 VALUES 🌸

okay so when this probe fires, it hands you a whole lil gift bag of variables. every single one of them, no gatekeeping 🫶

• state — the socket state value. that's the vibe check on the socket itself.
• protocol — the protocol value, just sitting there being a protocol.
• name — name of this probe. yes, it's literally telling you its own name. main character energy fr fr 👑
• type — the socket type value.
• success — was the send successful? 1 = yes, 0 = no. the moment of truth 😭
• family — the protocol family value.
• size — size of the message sent, in bytes. but if success = 0, this is the error code instead. sneaky lil shapeshifter 💀
• flags — the socket flags value.

---

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

The message sender. that's the one holding the mic 🎤

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It fires at the conclusion of sending a message on a socket, via the sock_sendmsg function. so like, the send already happened (or tried to, we don't judge) and now we're at the afterparty 🎉
