to_ssh_request(9)

💅 to_ssh_request(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to to_ssh_request(9) — a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she does exactly one (1) thing. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

to_ssh_request — cast a SSH packet to its enclosing SSH request. that's it. that's the whole job. iconique.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ssh_request * to_ssh_request (struct ssh_packet *p );

yes, that's the whole signature. no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p — the packet to cast. like, the packet you want to see as its bigger, request-shaped self. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? she casts the given struct ssh_packet to its enclosing struct ssh_request. the way that works is literally just... casting. that's the vibe.

⚠️ okay this part is important, bestie: the caller is responsible for making sure that the packet is actually wrapped in a struct ssh_request. the function does not check for you. it's not doing a vibe check on your packet. if you lie to her, that's on you — fr fr. 💀

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns the struct ssh_request wrapping the provided packet. slay. 🎀

🌈 okay that's the page!! she lives in the Kernel API Manual, the source is that file path over there in ./include/linux/surface_aggreg... (yes it got truncated in the footer, that's just how the header renders, don't come for me 🙈), and the date on this one is October 2026. mwah, go cast some packets responsibly 💜💅
