init_smb2_neg_rsp(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the init_smb2_neg_rsp(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — and it's honestly a little niche but we're gonna get it. It's all about initializing the smb2 response for the negotiate command.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int init_smb2_neg_rsp (struct ksmbd_work *work );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• work — the smb work containing the smb request buffer. That's the little container we're handing over, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The smb2 negotiate response is sent back in reply to the smb1 negotiate command for dialect auto-negotiation. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "we're negotiating dialects and this response needs to be initialized first" energy. 💖
