p9_conn_create(9)

💖 p9_conn_create(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — we're doing the 9p thing today and honestly? it's giving network-mux realness. this one is p9_conn_create, and it's literally the lil' function that gets your per-session mux data all set up and pretty. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

p9_conn_create — initialize the per-session mux data 🦋

like, it sets up the mux data for one session. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void p9_conn_create (struct p9_client *client );

yep, that's it — one arg, returns nothing (void, queen of not needing to report back 💅).

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• client — the client instance. that's it. that's the whole argument. she takes one (1) client instance and she's happy. 🫶

⭐ NOTE ⭐

not me about to drop the important bit: it creates the polling task if this is the first session. so like, first session gets the polling task spawned, subsequent ones... don't. iykyk. 🔥

bestie this is a NOTE for a reason — if you're on session number two, don't go looking for a fresh polling task, because she's not making one. 💀
