💖 smb2_echo(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

ok so bestie, meet smb2_echo(9) — the kernel API manual page for the handler of the smb2 echo(ping) command ✨

It's giving "are you still there?" energy, and honestly? Iconic. It's the function that handles the SMB2 echo — aka the ping — command, and she's out here doing exactly one job and doing it cute. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

smb2_echo — handler for smb2 echo(ping) command

like, the literal handler. for the echo. which is a ping. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int smb2_echo (struct ksmbd_work *work );

that's the whole signature, bestie — one arg in, an int out 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • work — the smb work containing the echo request buffer 🌈

basically it's the work struct carrying the echo request buffer, and she needs it to, y'know, do the thing. main character parameter fr fr 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, otherwise error 💀

that's it. zero means slay, anything else means something went sideways and you should lowkey pay attention 🙈
