xdr_stream_encode_be32(9)

okay so you found the xdr_stream_encode_be32(9) page, and it’s straight outta the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is all about encoding a big-endian 32-bit integer, and it’s lowkey iconic.

💅 NAME 💅

xdr_stream_encode_be32 — encode a big-endian 32-bit integer ✨ periodt.

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

here’s the exact signature, bestie — no cap, keep it character for character:

ssize_t xdr_stream_encode_be32 (struct xdr_stream *xdr , __be32 n );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• xdr — this is your pointer to an xdr_stream 💫
• n — the integer you wanna encode 🎀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

On success? it returns the length in bytes of XDR buffer consumed 💖. If the XDR buffer overflows? you get -EMSGSIZE 😭 fr fr.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀
