ecryptfs_send_message(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the ecryptfs_send_message(9) page, straight from the Kernel API Manual. The name line is ecryptfs_send_message — and bestie, the original summary is literally just a dash, no extra description. iconic minimalism, honestly. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ecryptfs_send_message (char *data , int data_len , struct
       ecryptfs_msg_ctx **msg_ctx );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• data — the data to send. that's the payload, bestie. 🎀
• data_len — the length of data. yes, it's giving "how many bytes." ✨
• msg_ctx — the message context allocated for the send. it's a struct ecryptfs_msg_ctx **, so double-pointer energy. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole move here is: it grabs ecryptfs_daemon_hash_mux. that's the entire description, no cap. 🔥

and then: returns zero on success; non-zero otherwise. so 0 is the slay outcome, anything else is a little 💀.
