💖 ecryptfs_send_message_locked(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ecryptfs_send_message_locked(9) — yes the title out here is literally abbreviated with ecryptfs_sen...ssage_locked(9) and yes that's the flex, don't @ me ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecryptfs_send_message_locked —

that's it. that's the whole name section. the original gave us zero description here, so i'm not gonna invent one, we stay honest in this group chat 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ecryptfs_send_message_locked (char *data , int data_len , u8
msg_type , struct ecryptfs_msg_ctx **msg_ctx );

that's the whole vibe: returns an int, takes a char *data, an int data_len, a u8 msg_type, and a struct ecryptfs_msg_ctx **msg_ctx 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • data — the data to send, literally the payload, the whole point bestie 📦
  • data_len — the length of data, so like, how much of it there actually is 📏
  • msg_type — the type of message, a u8 baddie 🏷️
  • msg_ctx — the message context allocated for the send, she was allocated just for this 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the important bit, do not skip this:

must be called with ecryptfs_daemon_hash_mux held.

like, held held. no cap. this is the lock requirement and she is not optional 😭🔒

returns zero on success; non-zero otherwise. that's the whole return contract, periodt ✨
