🎀 NAME 🎀

ovpn_peer_transp_match(9) — check if sockaddr and peer binding match

okay so this tiny bool icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and she has exactly one job, bestie: look at a peer’s binding and a sockaddr, then tell you if they match. no cap, that’s the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ovpn_peer_transp_match (const struct ovpn_peer *peer , const struct
       sockaddr_storage *ss );

that’s the whole call, fr fr. peer and ss pull up, the function returns a bool, and the group chat gets its answer. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• peer — the peer to get the binding from, periodt. that’s where the binding comes from.
• ss — the sockaddr to match. this is the one getting compared, iykyk.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• true if sockaddr and binding match
• false otherwise

literally that’s it — true or false, no maybes, no “it’s complicated” status, just a clean bool moment. 💖
