ENUM OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is enum ovs_check_pkt_len_attr from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the attribute set for %OVS_ACTION_ATTR_CHECK_PKT_LEN. That's the whole NAME vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here's the enum in all its main-character glory:

enum ovs_check_pkt_len_attr {
    OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN ,
    OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER ,
    OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL ,
    OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ARG

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN — it's a u16: the packet length to check for. 💅
• OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER — nested OVS_ACTION_ATTR_* actions to apply if the packer length is greater than the specified length in the attr — OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN. 🔥
• OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL — nested OVS_ACTION_ATTR_* actions to apply if the packer length is lesser or equal to the specified length in the attr — OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN. 🌈
• OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ARG — for in-kernel use, passing struct check_pkt_len_arg derived from other attributes. 🧚
