π ssam_request_sync_set_resp β Kernel API Manual β¨
Okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of ssam_request_sync_set_resp(9), a little function from the Kernel API Manual that has main character energy despite being, like, three lines of C. Let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
ssam_request_sync_set_resp β sets the response buffer of a synchronous request. That's it, that's the whole vibe β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
void ssam_request_sync_set_resp (struct ssam_request_sync *rqst , struct
ssam_response *resp );
Like, literally just hand it a request and a response buffer and it does the thing π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
rqstβ the request. The main character of this whole operation πrespβ the response buffer. The supportive bestie that's gonna catch the reply π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
So what this does is set the response buffer of a synchronous request. Picture it: you've got a request, and you're telling it exactly where to drop off its answer when it's done. That buffer is where the response of the request gets stored after it has been completed β like, not before, bestie, timing matters β°
And here's the cute part: it may be NULL if no response is expected. No response? No buffer needed. It's giving low-maintenance, it's giving "I don't need anything back" energy π
