bond_opt_get(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 bond_opt_get(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the bond_opt_get page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one lives over in the kernel, and it's literally the vibe-check function for bonding options. yes, we're doing networking lore today. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

bond_opt_get — get a pointer to an option 🫶

like, hand me the pointer. not a metaphor. an actual pointer. iykyk.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const struct bond_option * bond_opt_get (unsigned int option );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap, she's small but she's iconic 💜

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • option — the option for which to return a pointer 🎀 that's the whole argument, bestie. the option. the one you want a pointer to. periodt.

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does she do? okay so listen 👑

This function checks if option is valid and, if so, returns a pointer to its entry in the bond_opts[] option array. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey a queen for knowing exactly what she is 💅

so like — she's the bouncer at the club 🚪 if your option is on the list, you get a pointer to your spot in bond_opts[]. that's the whole function. main character energy, minimal code, we respect it 🙈✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

(notice slave_set_ns_maddrs and slave_set_ns_maddr are two different functions — one has an s, one doesn't. do not get cute and merge them. i said what i said 🎀)

ngl if you're looking for drama or warnings on this page, there aren't any — she's a straightforward little getter. no bugs listed, no exit statuses, no signals. just vibes and a pointer 🫶

and that's the page, bestie!! 🌸 this came from the ./drivers/net/bonding corner of the kernel, October 2026 edition, and the whole thing is bond_opt_get(9) — go off, read some networking code, and remember: always validate your options before you point at them 💜🎀✨
