tipc_sk_filter_connect(9)

💅 tipc_sk_filter_connect(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ today's main character is tipc_sk_filter_connect — and yes she's from the kernel, yes she's a 9 section girlie, we love her for that 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

tipc_sk_filter_connect — the function that does a little vibe check on an incoming message to see if it belongs to a connection-based socket 💫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool tipc_sk_filter_connect (struct tipc_sock *tsk , struct sk_buff *skb
, struct sk_buff_head *xmitq );

that's the whole signature, no cap. copy it exactly if you're typing it out, she's picky about her spelling 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• tsk — your TIPC socket, aka the whole reason we're here 🎀
• skb — a pointer to the message buffer. literally just a pointer, she's pointing at the message, that's her job 🙈
• xmitq — this one's for the Nagle ACK, if any. yes, if any — sometimes there is one, sometimes there isn't, we don't make the rules ⭐

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• true — the message gets added to the receive queue, she's in, she slayed 👑
• false — the message does not get added to the receive queue, it's giving rejected, not today bestie 💀

binarily speaking it's a bool, so it's giving either/or energy. no in-between, no "maybe", periodt.
