ssh_packet_get(9)

✨ ssh_packet_get(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ssh_packet_get(9) — yes that's the manual name, we're folding it in right here at the top so you're never confused about where you are 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ssh_packet_get — Increment reference count of packet.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ssh_packet * ssh_packet_get (struct ssh_packet *packet );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• packet — The packet to increment the reference count of.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Increments the reference count of the given packet. that's literally it, no cap — you hand it a packet, it bumps the counter up by one so the packet knows somebody else is holding onto it 🫶

and like, if you're wondering "okay but what takes it back down??" — see ssh_packet_put for the counter-part of this function. it's giving matched set, iykyk ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns the packet provided as input. same packet, same pointer, just with a shiny new refcount — iconic behavior honestly 👑
