tipc_sendstream(9)

💌 tipc_sendstream(9) — bestie edition 💌

okay so this is tipc_sendstream, straight out of the Kernel API Manual section of the man pages, and yes we are absolutely going to get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

tipc_sendstream — the girl whose whole job is sending stream-oriented data 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

that's it. three (3) little parameters. she's lowkey minimal and that's the vibe 🎀

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• sock — the socket structure, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑
• m — the data we're sending, literally the whole point 🍓
• dsz — total length of data to be transmitted, so: how many bytes are we actually putting out there, be honest 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. this one is used for SOCK_STREAM data. that's the entire description bestie, the man page said it in one line and we respect the confidence 😭 it's giving "I said what I said" and honestly? slay 🔥

---

✨ RETURN ✨

• on success (or partial success, because we're realistic) → you get the number of bytes sent 💖
• if no data got sent → you get an errno instead 🙈

not me checking the return value every single time. please check your return values bestie, partial success is still success and you need to know which one you got 🫶
