STRUCT SCIFIOCTL_CONNECT(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this page is all about struct scifioctl_connect(9) — literally struct scifioctl_connect — used for SCIF_CONNECT IOCTL ✨. It's giving “here's the struct for the connect ioctl,” and that's the whole vibe 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct scifioctl_connect {
           struct scif_port_id     self;
           struct scif_port_id     peer;
        };

💅 Members 💅

• self — used to read back the assigned port_id 💖. Like, this is the field that hands the assigned port back to you, periodt.
• peer — the destination node and port to connect to 🎯. That's your target, no cap.
