🎀 gsm_dlci_negotiate(9) — start parameter negotiation 🎀

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “tiny kernel function, big main character energy.” It’s all about gsm_dlci_negotiate, the little “start talking params” moment for a new DLCI. Short page, iconic behavior. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gsm_dlci_negotiate — start parameter negotiation

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int gsm_dlci_negotiate (struct gsm_dlci *dlci );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dlci — the DLCI to open. That’s the bb we’re negotiating for, no cap.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Starts the parameter negotiation for the new DLCI. Yup, that’s the whole vibe. This needs to be done before the DLCI initialized the channel via SABM — like, negotiation first, SABM channel-init after. Don’t skip the queue, bestie. 🫶
