🌈 handshake_genl_notify(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 🌈

Okay so bestie, welcome to handshake_genl_notify(9) 💖 — this one comes straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the little “hey, a request is waiting” ping for handlers ✨.

💌 NAME 💌

handshake_genl_notify — Notify handlers that a request is waiting 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The whole vibe, verbatim:

       int handshake_genl_notify (struct net *net , const struct
       handshake_proto *proto , gfp_t flags );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• net — target network namespace 🌐
• proto — handshake protocol 🤝
• flags — memory allocation control flags 🚩

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It returns 0 on success 🎉, or a negative errno if the notification failed 😭. That’s the whole mood: zero means slay, negative errno means the notification did not go off 💀.
