💖 tipc_link_set_skb_retransmit_time(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a tiny little function with a long name that absolutely ate. no cap, it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

tipc_link_set_skb_retransmit_time — literally just sets the time at which the next retransmission attempt for the given skb should happen 🫶

like… that's the whole vibe. it picks a future moment, it stamps it on the skb, done. iconic behavior, honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void tipc_link_set_skb_retransmit_time (struct sk_buff *skb , struct tipc_link *l );

returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, bestie, there isn't one 🙈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• skb — the skb you're setting a future retransmission time for ✨ it's the lucky little packet getting a glow-up appointment scheduled
• l — the link the skb will be transmitted on 💅 this is where our packet is gonna live its best life

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the kernel file behind all of this is ./net/tipc/link.c — go read it if you're feeling brave, it's giving main character energy 🔥
