};

Ok so this is the kernel API manual page for enum ncsi_nl_attrs, and it is literally just the enum and what each member means. No cap. Let's get into it 🫶

🎀 Constants

• NCSI_ATTR_UNSPEC — the unspecified attribute, whose whole job is catching errors. It's giving "designated driver" energy 🚗
• NCSI_ATTR_IFINDEX — the ifindex of the network device that's using NCSI
• NCSI_ATTR_PACKAGE_LIST — a nested array of NCSI_PKG_ATTR attributes. Nested! Array! Iconic 🌸
• NCSI_ATTR_PACKAGE_ID — the package ID, periodt
• NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_ID — the channel ID, also periodt
• NCSI_ATTR_DATA — the command payload 🍓
• NCSI_ATTR_MULTI_FLAG — the flag that signals multi-mode should be enabled with NCSI_CMD_SET_PACKAGE_MASK or NCSI_CMD_SET_CHANNEL_MASK. Copy those exactly, bestie, they're not vibes, they're symbols 💀
• NCSI_ATTR_PACKAGE_MASK — a 32-bit mask of allowed packages
• NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_MASK — a 32-bit mask of allowed channels
• __NCSI_ATTR_AFTER_LAST — honestly the original page just says -- undescribed -- and leaves it at that 😭 so that's what we're doing too, no invented lore, we don't make things up in this group chat 🙈
• NCSI_ATTR_MAX — the highest attribute number 👑
