iwpm_remote_info_cb(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is iwpm_remote_info_cb(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it’s the callback that processes the remote connecting peer address info that the port mapper has received from the connecting peer. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here’s the signature, no cap — keep it exactly like this:

int iwpm_remote_info_cb (struct sk_buff *skb , struct netlink_callback
       *cb );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Two args, both important, periodt:

• skb — the socket buffer. literally the buffer, bestie.
• cb — contains the received message (payload and netlink header). yep, that’s the whole payload-plus-netlink-header situation.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It stores the IPv4/IPv6 address info in a hash table. that’s the task — lowkey iconic, highkey useful. ✨
