ib_sa_unpack_service(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is ib_sa_unpack_service(9) 🫶✨. Its whole job? Convert a service record from MAD format to struct ib_sa_service_rec. That's the vibe. That's the assignment. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here's the signature, copied exactly — no edits, no "fixing" the spacing, bestie:

void ib_sa_unpack_service (void *attribute , struct sa_service_rec *rec
);

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

The original is literally out here giving us -- undescribed -- for both args, so I'm not gonna invent lore. No cap, here's exactly what we've got:

• attribute — -- undescribed --. That's it. That's the whole description. 😭
• rec — also -- undescribed --. The synopsis shows it as struct sa_service_rec *rec, but the original page doesn't describe it beyond that. 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

The cross-reference section is serving ✨linked-list energy✨. Every single one, preserved:

Cute sign-off: this page is from the ./include/rdma source/version corner, dated October 2026, and it's literally the ib_sa_unpack_service(9) page. Byeee 💖🎀✨
