tipc_send_packet(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for tipc_send_packet(9), and the name is literally tipc_send_packet — send a connection-oriented message. That's the whole assignment, no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       int tipc_send_packet (struct socket *sock , struct msghdr *m , size_t
       dsz );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sock — the socket structure, aka the main-character socket we're working with.
• m — the message to send. This is the thing you're sending out.
• dsz — length of data to be transmitted. Basically how many bytes are in the data package.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This one is used for SOCK_SEQPACKET messages. That's it, that's the tea — connection-oriented message sending, SOCK_SEQPACKET edition. ✨

🫶 RETURN 🫶

On success, you get the number of bytes sent. Otherwise? errno energy. So the return is literally the number of bytes sent on success, or errno otherwise. 💀
