nlm_rebind_host(9)

NAME ✨ — nlm_rebind_host(9)

hiii bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for nlm_rebind_host(9) — yes, that's the title and we're already iconic. 💅

nlm_rebind_host — if needed, force a portmap lookup of the peer's lockd port. That's the whole assignment, no cap. 🎀

SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole signature, copy it exactly bestie:

void nlm_rebind_host (struct nlm_host *host );

ARGUMENTS 🦋

• host — the NLM host handle for the peer, periodt. 🫶

DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, real talk: this is not needed when you're using a connection-oriented protocol, such as TCP. The existing autobind mechanism is literally sufficient to force a rebind when required, e.g. on connection state transitions. So yeah — that's the vibe. ✨
