xdr_stream_d...uint32_array(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the xdr_stream_d...uint32_array(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about xdr_stream_decode_uint32_array — the function that decodes a variable length array of integers. variable length? array? integers? she's doing the most, and honestly? iconic 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t xdr_stream_decode_uint32_array (struct xdr_stream *xdr , __u32 *array , size_t array_size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xdr — pointer to xdr_stream. that's the stream, bestie 🫶
  • array — location to store the integer array, or NULL. yes, NULL is allowed, no cap 🙈
  • array_size — number of elements to store. that's the capacity vibe 💜

🦋 RETURN 🦋

On success, it returns the number of elements stored in array. slay ✨

and then there's the bad-news girlies:

  • -EBADMSG on XDR buffer overflow 😭
  • -EMSGSIZE if the size of the array exceeds array_size 💀
fr fr, those return values are the documented ones — don't invent extra lore, bestie.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file is ./include/linux/sunrpc/xdr.h, and it's giving "go read these next":

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 source/version ./include/linux/sunrpc, date October 2026, manual page xdr_stream_d...uint32_array(9) — go decode responsibly 💜✨
