xprt_request_prepare(9) 💖✨

okay bestie, this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about getting an encoded request ready for transport. no cap, it's a tiny little helper with big main-character energy. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xprt_request_prepare — prepare an encoded request for transport 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int xprt_request_prepare (struct rpc_rqst *req , struct xdr_buf *buf );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• req — pointer to rpc_rqst. that's the request bestie, the whole vibe. 🫶
• buf — pointer to send/rcv xdr_buf. this is the buffer doing send/receive duty. ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This one calls into the transport layer to do whatever is needed to prepare the request for transmission or receive. literally handing it off so the transport can do its thing. 😌

It returns an error, or zero. so: error = not slay, zero = slay. 💀✨
