rpcauth_wrap_req(9)

💖 rpcauth_wrap_req(9) 💖 — fresh from the Kernel API Manual

Okay so bestie, this page is literally about XDR encoding and wrapping the RPC procedure 👑 no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

rpcauth_wrap_req — XDR encode and wrap the RPC procedure 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• task — the controlling RPC task, aka the one steering this whole situation 🎬
• xdr — the stream where the on-the-wire bytes are to be marshalled 🧚✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

On success, xdr contains the encoded and wrapped message, and zero is returned. That’s the slay outcome 💖✨

Otherwise, xdr is in an undefined state and a negative errno is returned. 😭

Heads up, bestie: if it’s not a success, xdr is in an undefined state and you get a negative errno. Undefined is literally undefined — do not go poking at it like it’s fine 💀
