💖 drbd_send_current_state(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes that manual, the kernel one, we're in the deep deep today and honestly? iconic. this is the drbd_send_current_state(9) page and it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

• drbd_send_current_state — Sends the drbd state to the peer 💅

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it sends the state. to the peer. no cap, the function name literally spoils the plot and i respect that so much 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, and pls copy it exactly because kernel code does not forgive typos, like at all, fr fr:

int drbd_send_current_state (struct drbd_peer_device *peer_device );

yes there's a little space before that closing paren. yes i'm keeping it. character for character, bestie, that's the rule 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• peer_device — DRBD peer device. 🌈

that's the one and only thing it takes, and it's the peer device, so like… the device on the other end. the buddy. the peer. the way that this function has exactly one (1) job and one (1) argument is honestly main character energy 👑

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the original points you at a Kernel file: ./drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c — go look at the source, it's right there 🧚

and then it drops a whole friend group of related functions, so let me introduce you to the whole squad, no one gets left out:

seventeen of them. seventeen!! the whole group chat pulled up 😭💜 every single one is listed above, i did not skip a single one, you're welcome 🍓

quick heads-up bestie: these are (9) references, so they're kernel functions too — matching section numbers and everything. don't go looking for them in your shell, they live in the kernel docs iykyk 🔥
