ef4_filter_set_eth_local(9)

💅 ef4_filter_set_eth_local(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

Okay so picture this: it's giving kernel API manual, it's giving <lavender>ef4_filter_set_eth_local</lavender>, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual. Buckle up, we're doing a filter spec glow-up ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ef4_filter_set_eth_local — specify local Ethernet address and/or VID 🫶

Like, you're telling the filter spec "hey bestie, here's the local Ethernet address and/or the VID" — that's the whole vibe. No cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ef4_filter_set_eth_local (struct ef4_filter_spec *spec , u16 vid ,
       const u8 *addr );

Three args, one int coming back at you. Iconic. 💖

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• spec — Specification to initialise. Yeah, she gets initialised. Main character energy only 👑
• vid — Outer VLAN ID to match, or EF4_FILTER_VID_UNSPEC. So like, either you give her a real VLAN ID or you hit her with EF4_FILTER_VID_UNSPEC and she's like "unspecified, got it" 💀
• addr — Local Ethernet MAC address, or NULL. That's it. A MAC address, or NULL. Choose your fighter 🌈

lowkey a reminder that these are the siblings in the same family — if you're setting an Ethernet local filter you're probably gonna want the rest of the set too 💜
