dev_mc_add_global(9)

✨ dev_mc_add_global(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the dev_mc_add_global(9) page — this is the Kernel API Manual entry and honestly it's giving "small function, big friend group" energy, because the SEE ALSO list at the bottom is literally a whole group chat 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dev_mc_add_global — Add a global multicast address 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int dev_mc_add_global (struct net_device *dev , const unsigned char
*addr );

like, yes, that's the whole signature, and yes the wrapping is real, ngl 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — device 🖥️ (the network device we're doing this to, bestie)
• addr — address to add 📮 (the address you want on there)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Add a global multicast address to the device. That's it, that's the vibe — short, sweet, and to the point, no cap 💖

bestie this description is iconic in how little it says, but everything it says is true and we are not adding lore that isn't there 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
