rpc_cmp_addr(9)

🦋 rpc_cmp_addr(9) 🦋

okay bestie, this is rpc_cmp_addr from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “small but iconic helper” main character energy, no cap. It's a bool function — yes, it returns true or false — and it does literally one job: compare the address portion of two sockaddrs. Periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

rpc_cmp_addr — compare the address portion of two sockaddrs. Cute, concise, iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       bool rpc_cmp_addr (const struct sockaddr *sap1 , const struct sockaddr
       *sap2 );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sap1 — first sockaddr. Yep, the first one.
• sap2 — second sockaddr. The other one. 💖

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So it literally just compares the family and the address portion. That's the vibe check. It ignores the port entirely — not invited to this party — but it does compare the scope if it's a link-local address. iykyk. 🫶

It returns true if the addrs are equal, and false if they aren't. fr fr, that's it, and honestly? Obsessed. 😭
