ssh_rqid_next(9)

✨ ssh_rqid_next(9) — bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about ssh_rqid_next(9) — literally the tiniest little function and it still ate. sit down, hydrate, let's go 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ssh_rqid_next — get the next request ID, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u16 ssh_rqid_next (struct ssh_rqid_counter *c );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• c — the counter that's out here providing the request IDs. that's it. that's the whole arg 🫶

---

👑 RETURN 👑

Returns the next request ID of the counter, and it skips any reserved request IDs — so you never get handed one of the reserved ones by accident. iconic behaviour honestly ✨
