πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… irdma_copy_ip_ntohl πŸ’…

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (iykyk, that's the kernel devs' section ✨). And honestly? It's a little two-line legend that does exactly one job and does it flawlessly. No cap.


✨ NAME ✨

irdma_copy_ip_ntohl β€” copy IP address from network to host 🫢

Like, it takes your IP address out of its little network-order outfit and puts it in host-order clothes. A whole glow-up, but for bytes. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void irdma_copy_ip_ntohl (u32 *dst , __be32 *src );

That's it. That's the whole vibe. She returns void, she takes two pointers, she minds her own business. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dst β€” the IP address, but in host order πŸ’– like, the cute normal-order version. This is where the copy lands.
  • src β€” the IP address as it came in: network order (big endian) 🌈 the source she's copying from, endianness and all.

So it's literally src β†’ dst, network β†’ host. No swap-around, no surprises, just the one-way trip. 🧚
