msgb_push_frame(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… msgb_push_frame β€” like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed πŸŽ€

Okay so bestie, listen. This is msgb_push_frame(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally a one-function wonder. No cap.


✨ NAME ✨

msgb_push_frame β€” pushes a SSH message frame header onto the buffer. That's the whole vibe. That's it. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void msgb_push_frame (struct msgbuf *msgb , u8 ty , u16 len , u8 seq );

Yes, the spacing is giving exactly that, and we're keeping it exactly like that, periodt. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • msgb β€” the message buffer. The main character of this whole operation, honestly. πŸŽ€
  • ty β€” the type of the frame. It's a u8, so keep it smol. ✨
  • len β€” the length of the payload of the frame. It's a u16 β€” the payload's little size badge, if you will. πŸ“
  • seq β€” the sequence ID of the frame/packet. Gotta keep track of who's who, iykyk. πŸ”₯
Not me making a whole section for four arguments β€” but every single one of them matters, bestie. πŸ™ˆ
