ovpn_peer_add(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ovpn_peer_add — the Kernel API Manual one 🦋

Okay so bestie, welcome to the ovpn_peer_add(9) page ✨ this is the kernel API manual's moment to shine, and honestly? It's giving "small function, big responsibility". Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ovpn_peer_add — add a peer to the related tables 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ovpn_peer_add (struct ovpn_priv *ovpn , struct ovpn_peer *peer );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ovpn — the openvpn instance that this peer belongs to 💜
  • peer — the peer object you're adding, the main character of this whole operation 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Not much to say here and that's kind of iconic of it, ngl 🫶 — assume the refcounter was increased by the caller. That's the whole vibe check: you (the caller) already bumped it up before coming here. Don't come in with a cold refcount, that's not the move 🙈

✨ RETURN ✨

0 on success, or a negative error code otherwise 😭 — so yeah, always check the return value fr fr ⭐

No cap: negative means something went sideways. 0 means slay, it worked 💅

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ovpn/peer.c, plus the whole friend group 🔥:

And that's the page, bestie 🌈 sign-off time: this came out of ./drivers/net/ovpn, dated October 2026, and it's ovpn_peer_add(9) all the way down 💖 mwah, go bump that refcounter 🧚
