💖 efx_filter_set_ipv6_local(9) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the efx_filter_set_ipv6_local page, and it literally exists to specify an IPv6 host, transport protocol, and port ✨ no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving exactly this, so don’t touch the commas:

int efx_filter_set_ipv6_local (struct efx_filter_spec *spec , u8 proto ,
       const struct in6_addr *host , __be16 port );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• spec — the specification you’re initialising, bestie. blank-canvas energy 💅
• proto — the transport layer protocol number, periodt.
• host — the local host address, and yes it’s in network byte order 😭 don’t forget.
• port — the local port, also in network byte order. slay.
