STRUCT TIPC_SUBSCRIPTION(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct tipc_subscription(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally about a TIPC network topology subscription object. yes, that's the whole name section and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its main-character glory, no cap:

       struct tipc_subscription {
           struct tipc_subscr s;
           struct tipc_event evt;
           struct kref kref;
           struct net *net;
           struct timer_list timer;
           struct list_head service_list;
           struct list_head sub_list;
           int conid;
           bool inactive;
           spinlock_t lock;
        };

okay so each field is doing its own little iconic thing:

• s — a host-endian copy of the user subscription. it's giving "same subscription, host-endian vibes" ✨
• evt — template for events generated by subscription. yes bestie, it's the event template. 🎀
• kref — reference count for this subscription. keeping track, always. 👑
• net — network namespace associated with subscription. the whole namespace situation. 🦋
• timer — timer governing subscription duration (optional). optional but still timer royalty. 💜
• service_list — adjacent subscriptions in name sequence's subscription list. that apostrophe is doing work. 🍓
• sub_list — adjacent subscriptions in subscriber's subscription list. matching list energy. 🧚
• conid — connection identifier of topology server. the topology server's connection ID, periodt. 🔥
• inactive — true if this subscription is inactive. simple, honest, iconic. 💀
• lock — serialize up/down and timer events. lock behavior, no cap. 💅
