irdma_copy_ip_ntohl(9)
π irdma_copy_ip_ntohl π
okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (iykyk, that's the kernel devs' section β¨). And honestly? It's a little two-line legend that does exactly one job and does it flawlessly. No cap.
β¨ NAME β¨
irdma_copy_ip_ntohl β copy IP address from network to host π«Ά
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. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
dstβ the IP address, but in host order π like, the cute normal-order version. This is where the copy lands.srcβ the IP address as it came in: network order (big endian) π 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. π§
π SEE ALSO π

fr fr, irdma_copy_ip_htonl(9) is right there in the list β she's the mirror twin, the other direction. Obsessed with a symmetrical duo. πͺπ«
okay that's the whole page, you're officially smarter than like 90% of people who've ever typed make modules πβ¨ this beauty is sourced from ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma, dated October 2026, and she's forever chilling at irdma_copy_ip_ntohl(9) β go be iconic with your endianness, bestie ππ¦π
