netlbl_af6list_add(9)

💖 netlbl_af6list_add — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the netlbl_af6list_add(9) page 🌸 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly a little icon: small, focused, does exactly one thing. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_af6list_add — literally just "Add a new IPv6 address entry to a list" 🦋 no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int netlbl_af6list_add (struct netlbl_af6list *entry , struct list_head *head );

like, that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 💅

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• entry — the address entry, aka the new girl you're adding to the group chat 🫶
• head — the list head, aka the group chat itself 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea ☕: you're adding a new address entry to the list that head points at. That's it, that's the function.

On success you get a big fat zero back 🎉 otherwise you get a negative value, which is the kernel's way of saying "nope, didn't slay" 😭

⚠️ and listen — the caller is responsible for calling the necessary locking functions. That's on YOU, bestie. The function is not gonna lock anything for you. No cap, no hand-holding, main character energy only 🔥
