tls_alert_send(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

tls_alert_send(9) — send a TLS Alert on a kTLS socket 💌

okay bestie, this little icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole thing is literally: send a TLS Alert on a kTLS socket. no cap, that's the name and the vibe. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, copied exactly because we do not play with code, periodt:

int tls_alert_send (struct socket *sock , u8 level , u8 description );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the cast of characters, bestie:

• sock — open kTLS socket to send on 🧦
• level — TLS Alert level 🚨
• description — TLS Alert description 🏷️

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

real talk: tls_alert_send() returns zero on success or a negative errno.

that's the whole description — no extra lore, no secret bonus round 💀. if you get 0, slay ✨; if you get a negative errno, the vibes are off and you should lowkey pay attention 😭.
