💖 rte_flow_item_ipv6 — the bestie guide 💖

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Library Functions Manual and its whole name is rte_flow_item_ipv6(3). It's about one struct, and she's a baddie. Let's get into it ✨

✨ Data Fields ✨

Here's the whole glow-up, every single member, no skips:

uint32_t has_route_ext:1
uint32_t has_frag_ext:1
uint32_t has_auth_ext:1
uint32_t has_esp_ext:1
uint32_t has_dest_ext:1

👑 Detailed Description 👑

This is for RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_IPV6.

It matches an IPv6 header. That's the vibe. 🫶

And then — the iconique part — there are dedicated flags that tell you whether the header contains specific extension headers. Not guessing, not vibes-checking the packet, just flags. slay.

Bestie note: this struct is defined at line 980 of the file rte_flow.h. Remember that, it comes back a lot 💅
