fc_exch_recv_bls(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the fc_exch_recv_bls(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded in near the top, no boring header line copy, we're slaying 💅

fc_exch_recv_bls - Handler for a BLS sequence

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, and yes you can copy-paste it exactly — character for character, no edits, periodt:

void fc_exch_recv_bls (struct fc_exch_mgr *mp , struct fc_frame *fp );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mp — the EM that the exchange is on. yes, that EM 💫
• fp — the request frame. the request frame in question 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the tea is: the BLS frame is always a sequence initiated by the remote side — no cap, remote side starts it. we may be either the originator or the recipient of the exchange, so don't assume we're just one vibe. 💖
