iw_cm_connect(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

iw_cm_connect — bestie, this is the kernel API call you make when you wanna request a connection to a remote peer. It's literally the iw_cm_connect(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's serving main-character energy. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the signature, no cap:

int iw_cm_connect (struct iw_cm_id *cm_id , struct iw_cm_conn_param
       *iw_param );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cm_id — the IW CM identifier for the connection. This is the little name tag that says which connection we're talking about. 🫶
• iw_param — a pointer to a structure holding the connection establishment parameters. It's the setup deets, basically. 🍓

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so here's the vibe check: events may be delivered to the specified IW CM identifier prior to the return of this function. So bestie, stuff can happen before you're even back from the call — yes, before, and that's just how it is. 😭

If this function returns a non-zero value, the client can assume that no events will be delivered to the specified IW CM identifier. Periodt. 💀
