ib_sa_pack_path(9)

💖 ib_sa_pack_path(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ib_sa_pack_path(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual. This is the page for one tiny function, and we're keeping every detail, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ib_sa_pack_path — the original description says it's gonna Conert a path record from struct ib_sa_path_rec to IB MAD wire format. Yes, it says “Conert” — we keep the typo, it's part of the lore 💅. Also, the description name-drops struct ib_sa_path_rec, while the synopsis uses struct sa_path_rec; both are exactly what the page says, so both stay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ib_sa_pack_path (struct sa_path_rec *rec , void *attribute );

That's the whole signature, bestie. Periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rec — -- undescribed -- 🫶 the page literally leaves it as “undescribed,” so we're not inventing lore.
• attribute — -- undescribed -- 🫶 same energy: “undescribed,” and we respect it.
