iwpm_remove_mapping(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Okay bestie, welcome to iwpm_remove_mapping(9) from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded in, vibe check passed, and this page is short, iconic, and all about sending a netlink remove mapping request to the userspace port mapper. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

iwpm_remove_mapping — send a netlink remove mapping request to the userspace port mapper. That's the whole quest, bestie: remove the mapping and ship that netlink request over to the userspace port mapper. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

The signature is literally this, character for character:

int iwpm_remove_mapping (struct sockaddr_storage *local_addr , u8 nl_client );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • local_addr — the local ip/tcp address to remove. Yep, that one gets removed. 🦋
  • nl_client — the index of the netlink client. It's the index, not the whole client, iykyk.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Here's the attribute tea, served fresh: nlmsg attributes: [IWPM_NLA_MANAGE_MAPPING_SEQ] [IWPM_NLA_MANAGE_ADDR]. That's it, that's the description, no cap. ✨
