rpcauth_marshcred(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to a Kernel API Manual page, and the main character is literally rpcauth_marshcred 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

rpcauth_marshcred — Append RPC credential to end of @xdr 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rpcauth_marshcred (struct rpc_task *task , struct xdr_stream *xdr );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• task — the controlling RPC task 👑
• xdr — an xdr_stream containing the initial portion of the RPC Call header 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe check: on success, an appropriate verifier is added to xdr, xdr is updated to point past the verifier, and zero is returned. Slay. 💖

Otherwise? xdr is in an undefined state and a negative errno is returned 😭 no cap, that part is important.
