fw_send_response(9)

okay so bestie, this is fw_send_response(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “send the response packet for an asynchronous transaction” energy ✨. No cap, here's the whole vibe check without losing a single detail 💅.

💖 NAME 💖

fw_send_response - - send response packet for asynchronous transaction.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, untouched, because we do not mess with the signature:

void fw_send_response (struct fw_card *card , struct fw_request *request
, int rcode );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• card — interface to send the response at. 💳✨
• request — firewire request data for the transaction. 🔥
• rcode — response code to send. 📬

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what it does: it submits a response packet into the asynchronous response transmission queue. the request is going to be released when the transmission successfully finishes later — like, later later, after it actually succeeds, bestie 💅. that's the whole tea, fr fr.
