💖 tipc_crypto_key_xmit(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for tipc_crypto_key_xmit, and yes she's a kernel function, yes she's serving secure key delivery realness, and yes we're gonna get through this together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_crypto_key_xmit — Send a session key 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tipc_crypto_key_xmit (struct net *net , struct tipc_aead_key *skey ,
u16 gen , u8 mode , u32 dnode );

like. that's the whole signature. five params. no cap. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • net — the struct net, your whole network namespace situation, the vibe container if you will 💅
  • skey — the session key that's getting sent out, the main character of this entire function honestly 👑
  • gen — the key's generation (a u16, so she has range 🌈)
  • mode — the key's mode (a u8 — smol but important 🍓)
  • dnode — the destination node address, and lowkey key detail: it's = 0 if you're broadcasting to all nodes 📢✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works is: the session key skey gets packed into a TIPC v2 'MSG_CRYPTO/KEY_DISTR_MSG' as its data section, and then it gets xmit-ed through the uc/bc link 🧚

that's it. that's the description. she packs the key, she sends the key. iconic behaviour, periodt 💜

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 in case of success 🎉 — otherwise < 0 😭 (iykyk, negative means something went sideways, check your vibes)
