sshp_find_syn(9)

💖 sshp_find_syn(9) 💖

okay so this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about finding SSH SYN bytes in a data span. very demure, very kernel-core. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sshp_find_syn — literally just: find SSH SYN bytes in the given data span. that's the whole vibe check 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool sshp_find_syn (const struct ssam_span *src , struct ssam_span *rem );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• src — the data span you're searching in. the main character of the search, if you will 👑
• rem — the span (output!! it's a output bestie) that shows the remaining data, starting with the SSH SYN bytes if we found any 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. the whole job is: search for SSH SYN bytes in the given source span. that's it, that's the function 🧚

If found — set the rem span to the remaining data, starting with the first SYN bytes and capped by the source span length, then return true. slay ✅

If not found — set the rem span to the zero-length span at the end of the source span and return false. no SYN, no problem, we move 💀

If partial SSH SYN bytes are chilling at the end of the source span — set the rem span to cover these partial SYN bytes, capped by the end of the source span, and return false. and then?? this function should be re-run once more data is available. like bestie finish the thought when you've got the rest of the bytes 🙈

🌈 Important vibe: this function does not copy any data. no cap. it only sets pointers to the respective start addresses and length values. zero copying, all pointer energy ✨

---

💜 RETURN 💜

Returns true if a complete SSH SYN sequence could be found — iconic, we ate 💅 — and false otherwise.
