rpcauth_wrap_req_encode(9)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for rpcauth_wrap_req_encode(9) — yes, the name is a whole mouthful, but we’re gonna slay it ✨

💖 NAME 💖

rpcauth_wrap_req_encode — XDR encode the RPC procedure 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the signature is literally:

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

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• task — the controlling RPC task 👑 aka the main character calling the shots
• xdr — the stream where the on-the-wire bytes are to be marshalled 🦋 that’s where the bytes get packed up and sent out

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

On success, xdr contains the encoded and wrapped message. No cap, that’s the good timeline 💅

Otherwise, xdr is in an undefined state. Not a vibe. Do not trust it, do not poke it, do not assume anything about it 😭💀
