svc_xprt_create(9)

💅 svc_xprt_create(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

svc_xprt_create — Add a new listener to @serv 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the signature is giving main character energy, no cap, and it is literally this:

       int svc_xprt_create (struct svc_serv *serv , const char *xprt_name ,
       struct net *net , const int family , const unsigned short port , int
       flags , const struct cred *cred );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

Here's the vibe check on every single parameter — no skips, bestie, ngl:

• serv — target RPC service 👑
• xprt_name — transport class name
• net — network namespace
• family — network address family
• port — listener port
• flags — SVC_SOCK flags
• cred — credential to bind to this transport

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so lowkey the whole plot is this: it returns the local xprt port on success, or -EPROTONOSUPPORT on failure. Periodt. The way that this is the entire description? Iconic ☕.
