genl_info_init_ntf(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the genl_info_init_ntf(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally here to help you initialize genl_info for notifications 💅✨

genl_info_init_ntf — initialize genl_info for notifications

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void genl_info_init_ntf (struct genl_info *info , const struct genl_family *family , u8 cmd );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• info — the genl_info struct to set up, bestie 🫶
• family — pointer to the genetlink family 🌈
• cmd — command to be used in the notification 🎯

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so the vibe here is: initialize a locally declared struct genl_info so you can pass it to various APIs. That's the whole moment. The way that this is intended to be used is when you're creating notifications ✨👑

No cap, it's giving "setup first, notification later" energy 💅
