kernel_bind(9)

🎀 kernel_bind(9) 🎀

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for kernel_bind(9), and we’re gonna make it make sense, bestie. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

kernel_bind — bind an address to a socket (kernel space). That’s the name moment, no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

copy-paste energy only, mwah:

       int kernel_bind (struct socket *sock , struct sockaddr_unsized *addr ,
       int addrlen );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sock — the socket 🫶
• addr — the address 🌈
• addrlen — the length of the address 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It returns 0 or an error. That’s the return-value vibe on this page — literally no extra lore, bestie. 💀
