qmi_recv_del_client(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qmi_recv_del_client — a Kernel API Manual moment (yes, from the 9 section bestie, that's kernel API)

okay so listen. we're in the kernel API manual, section 9, and today's main character is qmi_recv_del_client. it's a tiny little function and honestly it's giving "quiet luxury" — no drama, just vibes and one callback. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

qmi_recv_del_client — the handler for the DEL_CLIENT control message. that's it. that's the whole job. she handles it. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qmi_recv_del_client (struct qmi_handle *qmi , unsigned int node ,
       unsigned int port );

like, three params, void return, no notes. lowkey iconic for being so unbothered 😌

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • qmi — the qmi handle. your main character struct, the whole reason we're here 🫶
  • node — the node of the dying client. yes dying, we'll get to that, don't panic (or do, a little) 💀
  • port — the port of that same dying client. node + port = we know exactly who's leaving the party 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? she signals the client about a dying client — by calling the del_client callback. that's the whole plot. no cap, that's it. she's the messenger telling you someone's gone, and the actual emotional heavy lifting happens in that callback. the way that a single callback can carry so much responsibility... obsessed 😭✨

heads up bestie: the client here is described as dying — that's the manual's own word, not mine, so like, keep that energy when you're reading it. it's a real "someone is leaving the function" situation, not a drill 💅
