ssh_ptl_submit(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ ssh_ptl_submit(9) — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ssh_ptl_submit page of the Kernel API Manual 💅 — yes that's the manual section she lives in, we're not copying the header line, we're honoring it. Anyway.

ssh_ptl_submit — submit a packet to the transport layer 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ssh_ptl_submit (struct ssh_ptl *ptl , struct ssh_packet *p );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ptl — the packet transport layer you're submitting the packet to. your chosen destination, your main character layer 💖
  • p — the packet you're submitting. the little guy herself 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So what she does: she submits a new packet to the transport layer and queues it up to be sent. literally just adding it to the queue, that's the whole vibe.

⚠️ But be so fr right now — this function should not be used for re-submission. That's not her job. Don't do it. 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Here's the vibe check on what she hands back 💀

  • zero — success, we ate, slay ✨
  • -EINVAL — a packet field is invalid, or the packet has been canceled prior to submission. invalid, bestie 😭
  • -EALREADY — uh, this packet has already been submitted. been there, done that, we're not doing it again 👑
  • -ESHUTDOWN — the packet transport layer has been shut down. she's closed, the lights are off, go home 🫶
