init_path(9)

🎀 init_path — a Gen Z field guide 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to init_path, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. yes, we're in kernel land today, and honestly? it's giving main character energy.

---

✨ NAME ✨

init_path — establishes all path connections and does handshake 💅 like, it sets everything up and does the little introduction ritual, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int init_path (struct rtrs_clt_path *clt_path );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one pointer, one int coming back at you 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• clt_path — the client path, bestie. and listen, if anything goes wrong here, the full close or reconnect procedure should be taken — because reconnect or close async works can be started 😭 so like… handle your business, fr fr.

🚨 not me warning you twice: error here means close-or-reconnect time, and those async reconnect/close works may already be kicking off. don't just walk away, okay? 💀
