gsi_trans_skb_add(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the gsi_trans_skb_add(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally here to add a socket transfer to a transaction. That’s the whole main-character job. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int gsi_trans_skb_add (struct gsi_trans *trans , struct sk_buff *skb );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• trans — the Transaction. That’s the thing you’re adding to, no cap.
• skb — the Socket buffer for transfer (outbound). Yes, outbound — it’s giving send energy. 💅

🎀 RETURN 🎀

It returns 0, or -EMSGSIZE if the socket data won’t fit in the transaction. So if you get -EMSGSIZE, the transaction is lowkey saying “not me being too small” 😭 and you gotta deal.
