💖 iucv_path_accept(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're in kernel land now, put your big-girl glasses on 👑 — and today's main character is iucv_path_accept, the little function that says "yes bestie, let's talk" to an IUCV path ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iucv_path_accept — Complete the IUCV communication path 🫶

no like literally, that's the whole job. completing the path. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iucv_path_accept (struct iucv_path *path , struct iucv_handler
*handler , u8 *userdata , void *private );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • path — the address of the iucv_path structure. this is the vibe, the whole situation, the path in question 💅
  • handler — the address of the iucv_handler structure. your handler bestie, the one holding it down
  • userdata — 16 bytes of data that gets reflected to the communication partner 👀 yes exactly sixteen, count them, no cap. it's giving "here's a lil something about me" energy
  • private — private data that gets passed to the interrupt handlers for this path 🙈 your own lil secret, just for this path, iykyk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way that this works is, this function gets issued after the user received a connection pending external interrupt — like, the interrupt already showed up and said "hey someone wants to connect" — and now the user wishes to complete the IUCV communication path 💫

that's it. that's the moment. you got the interrupt, you're like "okay sure, let's do this", and iucv_path_accept is the function that makes it official. main character energy fr fr 🔥

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the result of the CP IUCV call — like, whatever CP says, that's what you get. no extra interpretation, no sugar-coating, just the raw result straight from the call 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./net/iucv/iucv.c — plus the whole friend group, they all showed up:

and that's the whole page bestie, go forth and complete those paths 💜

also lowkey: this lives in ./net/iucv and it's the October 2026 edition of iucv_path_accept(9) — so like, keep that in mind, timeline-wise 🕰️✨

iucv_path_accept(9) — periodt. 🎀
