rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(9)

🎀 rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx 🎀

okay so bestie, this one's from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a whole manual, we love a documented icon) and it's honestly so simple you're gonna be like "wait that's it?" 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx — get the address of a peer 🌸

like, the address address, not the vibe. well, also the vibe, but mostly the address.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

const struct sockaddr_rxrpc * rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx (const struct rxrpc_peer *peer );

that's the whole thing. const struct sockaddr_rxrpc * going in, one argument, no surprises, we love a low-drama signature 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• peer — the peer you wanna query 👀. that's the one. that's the whole argument list. main character energy fr.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so you've got a peer record and you want a pointer to the address sitting inside it — that's literally the whole function, and honestly? iconic. ✨

⚠️ but listen — the caller is responsible for making sure that the address is not deallocated. that part is on YOU, bestie, not on this function. it hands you a pointer and trusts you with it. do not let it get freed underneath you, no cap 😭

and here's the sweet part: a fake address will be substituted if peer is NULL. so it's not gonna just explode on you — you get a fake record to hold instead. thoughtful king behavior honestly 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back the rxrpc address record or a fake record — that's it, that's the whole deal. real one if you gave it a real peer, fake one if you gave it NULL 🧚
