llc_ui_autobind(9)

💖 llc_ui_autobind(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9 ✨

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: we're in the kernel API manual (section 9), and today's main character is llc_ui_autobind. yes she's lowercase, yes she's a function, and yes she's about to make your socket bind itself. slay 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

llc_ui_autobind — automatically bind a socket to a sap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int llc_ui_autobind (struct socket *sock , struct sockaddr_llc *addr );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• sock — the socket we're binding, bestie. that's the one 🫶
• addr — the address we're connecting to 💫

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this one is a little backstage icon, ngl. she doesn't get called by you — she gets called by llc_ui_connect and llc_ui_sendmsg when the user hasn't specifically used llc_ui_bind to bind to a specific address/sap. like, you didn't pick one? fine, she'll pick for you. main character energy fr 🔥

basically: no manual bind = autobind steps in. iykyk 👑

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0 upon success, negative otherwise 💀 (so like, check your return values, bestie, always)
