ENUM NFT_BYTEORDER_ATTRIBUTES(9)

💜 enum nft_byteorder_attributes(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💜

okay so. this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about enum nft_byteorder_attributes — the nf_tables byteorder expression netlink attributes. no cap, that's the whole vibe. netlink attributes for the byteorder expression. you're welcome 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

enum nft_byteorder_attributes — nf_tables byteorder expression netlink attributes 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum nft_byteorder_attributes {
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_SREG ,
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_DREG ,
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_OP ,
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_LEN ,
    NFTA_BYTEORDER_SIZE ,
    __NFTA_BYTEORDER_MAX

};

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

here's the whole cast, main character energy only ⭐

• NFTA_BYTEORDER_UNSPEC — -- undescribed -- 😭 the manpage literally has nothing to say about this one. iconic but mysterious.
• NFTA_BYTEORDER_SREG — the source register (NLA_U32: nft_registers). where the data's coming from, obvi 🍓
• NFTA_BYTEORDER_DREG — the destination register (NLA_U32: nft_registers). where it's going. it's giving logistical excellence ✨
• NFTA_BYTEORDER_OP — the operator (NLA_U32: enum nft_byteorder_ops). the actual byteorder move being made 🔥
• NFTA_BYTEORDER_LEN — length of the data (NLA_U32). how much data we're talking about, no more no less 💅
• NFTA_BYTEORDER_SIZE — data size in bytes (NLA_U32: 2 or 4). and it's literally just 2 or 4, those are the options, don't be weird about it 🙈
• __NFTA_BYTEORDER_MAX — -- undescribed -- 💀 same situation as UNSPEC, the docs said "no thoughts, head empty" on this one too.
