gb_operatio...onal_timeout(9)

💅 NAME

gb_operation_unidirectional_timeout — okay so this is the one that kicks off a unidirectional operation 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int gb_operation_unidirectional_timeout (struct gb_connection
*connection , int type , void *request , int request_size , unsigned int
timeout );

Like, that's the whole signature, bestie — copy it exactly, don't get creative with it 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• connection — the connection you're gonna use. your ride-or-die connection, basically 💫
• type — what kind of operation you're sending out into the world ✨
• request — the memory buffer you're copying the request from 🎀
• request_size — the size of that request. yes, in bytes. keep it honest 🙈
• timeout — send timeout, in milliseconds. that's your clock ticking, girl ⏰

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what this does: it initiates a unidirectional operation by sending a request message and then waiting for the host device to acknowledge that it's been sent. it's giving "send it and then stand there checking your phone" energy 💀

⚠️ Big important note, no cap: a successful send of a unidirectional operation does not imply that the request actually reached the remote end of the connection. like… it got acknowledged as sent, that's it. don't go assuming more than that, bestie 😭
