tipc_msg_append(9)

💖 tipc_msg_append — bestie's official guide 💖

okay so this is tipc_msg_append(9) from the kernel API manual, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little helper that does exactly one job and does it slay". no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_msg_append — appends data to the tail of a buffer queue that already exists. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tipc_msg_append (struct tipc_msg *_hdr , struct msghdr *m , int dlen
, int mss , struct sk_buff_head *txq );

look at her. five arguments, one int return, zero drama. copy it exactly pls, i'm not about to let you typo a kernel signature bestie 😭

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• _hdr — the header you're gonna use. she's the boss of this operation 👑
• m — literally the data being appended. the main character of the whole function ngl 🌟
• dlen — the size of the data you're appending. like, how much data. that's the number 💫
• mss — max allowable size of a buffer. the ceiling. the limit. don't push past it 🙈
• txq — the queue you're appending to. this is the destination, the group chat you're sending the message into 🫶

---

🍓 RETURN 🍓

it returns the number of 1k blocks appended, or an errno value if something goes sideways. so like — a happy number, or a sad errno. no in-between fr fr 💀

heads up bestie: "1k blocks" is the unit here, not bytes, not vibes. keep that in mind when you're reading the return value ✨
