📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fbnic_tlv_parser_error(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to fbnic_tlv_parser_error(9) — yes that's the manual name, no we're not skipping it, it's literally the title bestie 🫶. This is the little function that picks up the phone when a message rolls in wearing an outfit nobody recognizes. Let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

fbnic_tlv_parser_error — the one that gets called when the message doesn't match any known type. it's giving "you're not on the list, babes" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int fbnic_tlv_parser_error (void *opaque , struct fbnic_tlv_msg **results );

literally that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, do not improvise 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • opaque — marked (unused). yeah. she's there, she's in the signature, she's doing absolutely nothing. main character energy but zero lines 😭
  • results — also (unused). same vibe, same non-contribution. iconic of them honestly 🙈

👑 RETURN 👑

returns -EBADMSG — which is the whole point of her existence: signalling that the message is an unsupported type. no cap, that's the entire job 💀

ngl this is the error path, so if you're seeing this return value in the wild, something sent a message type nobody signed off on. not a bug in this function though — she's just the messenger 🧚
