💖 NAME

gsm_dlci_data_kick — transmit if possible 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void gsm_dlci_data_kick (struct gsm_dlci *dlci );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• dlci — the DLCI you're kicking. yes, literally that. this is the one you're booting into action 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so: this bad boy transmits data from this DLCI if the queue is empty. that's the whole vibe check. ✨

and here's the thing — we can't rely on a tty wakeup, except when we filled the pipe. so in every other case, we gotta fire off new data ourselves. no cap, it's on us 🔥
