tipc_send_group_bcast(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual, and tipc_send_group_bcast is literally the function that sends a message to all members in a communication group. Group-chat broadcast energy, no cap 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sock — the socket structure 🫶
• m — the message to send
• dlen — total length of message data
• timeout — timeout to wait for wakeup

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this one is called from function tipc_sendmsg, and bestie, that caller has already done all the sanity checks. That's the whole description — this function is not out here doing the checking itself. Slay delegation 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

On success you get the number of bytes sent. If it doesn't go off, you get errno. That's the vibe check 😭
