π llc_find_offset(9) π
okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual today bestie, and the page is llc_find_offset β yes it's giving very niche-kernel-girlie but trust me, it's a vibe π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
llc_find_offset β finds start offset of category of transitions
π SYNOPSIS π
int llc_find_offset (int state , int ev_type );
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
stateβ the state of the connection, like where the connection is at in its whole little journey π«ev_typeβ the type of happened event, aka what just went down π₯
π DESCRIPTION π
So what does it actually do? It finds the start offset of the desired category of transitions. That's it, that's the whole thing. And then β plot twist β it returns that desired start offset π
like, that's genuinely the entire function. no cap. it's a lookup, it's a finder, it finds the offset, it returns the offset. main character energy but make it small and focused π§
β SEE ALSO β
okay this next part is a whole friend group, buckle up π«Ά the kernel file lives at ./net/llc/llc_conn.c, and it's bringing the entire squad:

seriously, read the whole list, they're all linked, iykyk π
ngl llc_find_next_offset(9) being right there next to this one is so sibling-coded. they're literally a matching set π
and that's the page!! mwah π this one comes from ./net/llc and it's dated October 2026 β so go forth, find those offsets, and slay π¦β¨π
