💖 xdr_stream_..._opaque_auth(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨ this is the page for xdr_stream_..._opaque_auth(9), and the actual NAME-section function is xdr_stream_decode_opaque_auth — yes, the header has the ... but the real one is right here. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

xdr_stream_decode_opaque_auth — Decode struct opaque_auth (RFC5531 S8.2)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ssize_t xdr_stream_decode_opaque_auth (struct xdr_stream *xdr , u32
       *flavor , void **body , unsigned int *body_len );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • xdr — pointer to xdr_stream.
  • flavor — location to store decoded flavor.
  • body — location to store decode body.
  • body_len — location to store length of decoded body.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Return values, bestie — this is the whole vibe:

  • On success, returns the number of buffer bytes consumed.
  • -EBADMSG on XDR buffer overflow.
  • -EMSGSIZE if the decoded size of the body field exceeds 400 octets.
the 400 octets cap is not a suggestion, okay? if the decoded body size exceeds it, that's -EMSGSIZE energy. 💀
