🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• sr — the Request structure. your softreq bestie, the one holding the request energy ✨
• req — the Crypto request structre. (spelling straight from the source, we do not edit the queen 👑)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns 0 if successful or a negative errno code on error. that's the whole story, and honestly? main character energy. zero means slay, negative means something went sideways and you get an errno to explain the drama 😭
