tipc_send_group_anycast(9)

💅 tipc_send_group_anycast(9) — like, the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tipc_send_group_anycast — the little function that sends a message to literally anyone in the group who matches the identity you asked for. first one to claim it wins, no cap 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

tipc_send_group_anycast — send message to any member with given identity

like… any member. whoever. it's giving "whoever gets here first, it's yours" energy 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int tipc_send_group_anycast (struct socket *sock , struct msghdr *m ,
       int dlen , long timeout );

ok so she takes four things and returns an int, keep that in mind 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sock — the socket structure. yeah, that socket, the one we're doing all this on 💅
• m — the message to send. the actual payload, the whole point of the operation, main character energy fr
• dlen — total length of message data. count it, don't guess, iykyk
• timeout — timeout to wait for wakeup. how long we're willing to sit there waiting before we're like "ok bye" 😴

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea: this one gets called from tipc_sendmsg, and by the time it reaches here, all the sanity checks have already been done. like, every single one. so this function is just out here living its best life, no validation era, we trust the caller completely 🫶

basically tipc_sendmsg did the homework and tipc_send_group_anycast just shows up and sends. iconic division of labour, honestly.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of bytes sent on success — slay ✨ — or errno if it didn't work out 😭
