💖 netlbl_af4list_audit_addr(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally all about netlbl_af4list_audit_addr — yes that's a mouthful, yes it's iconic, no we're not shortening it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_af4list_audit_addr — Audit an IPv4 address 🦋

like, it takes an IPv4 address and puts it in the audit log. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void netlbl_af4list_audit_addr (struct audit_buffer *audit_buf , int src
, const char *dev , __be32 addr , __be32 mask );

copy that exactly, bestie, don't be out here retyping it from memory 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • audit_buf — the audit buffer. it's giving "the place where the tea gets written down" ☕
  • src — true if this is a source address, false if it's a destination. iykyk 👑
  • dev — the network interface. like, which one of your lil network girlies this is about 🌈
  • addr — the IP address itself. main character energy fr fr ⭐
  • mask — the IP address mask 🎭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Write the IPv4 address and address mask, if necessary, to audit_buf.

that "if necessary" is doing a lot of heavy lifting ngl — it's in the original, I'm not making it up, don't come for me 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./net/netlabel/netlabel_addrlist.c — and also, the whole friend group:

the af6 girlies said "we're here too" and honestly? slay 💜

💀 lowkey reminder: src is an int in the signature but the docs say true/false — that's exactly how it's written up there, so keep it that way, bestie. no cap.

✨ cute lil sign-off ✨

this page is from ./net/netlabel, dated October 2026 — so like, she's from the future, obviously 💖 keep her safe, cite her right, and go audit those IPv4 addresses, bestie 🫶🌸
