💖 tipc_node_xmit — like, the general link level function for message sending 💖

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — section 9, kernel API, we're in the big leagues now ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_node_xmit — the general link level function for sending messages, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int tipc_node_xmit (struct net *net , struct sk_buff_head *list , u32
dnode , int selector );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• net — the applicable net namespace, like which universe we're operating in rn 🌌
• list — the chain of buffers holding the message. it's giving "buffers in a little conga line" 💃
• dnode — the address of the destination node, aka where this whole thing is headed 📬
• selector — a number used for deterministic link selection. lowkey the main character of this argument list tbh 👑

⚠️ heads up bestie: this function consumes the buffer chain. so like, it takes your list and it's gone after — don't come looking for it later 😭
