🦋 tipc_named_rcv(9) — kernel API bestie era 🦋

okay so welcome to the tipc_named_rcv(9) page in the Kernel API Manual. This one is short and sweet, but it's literally about processing name table update messages sent by another node — so like, the name-table gossip desk. periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_named_rcv — process name table update messages sent by another node. That's the whole vibe: it handles those updates when another node sends them over. 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tipc_named_rcv (struct net *net , struct sk_buff_head *namedq , u16 *rcv_nxt , bool *open );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• net — the associated network namespace. like, the namespace this whole thing belongs to.
• namedq — queue to receive from. yes bestie, this is the queue.
• rcv_nxt — store last received seqno here. it's a pointer, so the last received sequence number goes right there.
• open — last bulk msg was received (FIXME). yeah, that FIXME is literally part of the original, so we keep it and side-eye it lovingly. 👀
