netlbl_init(9)

💅 netlbl_init — Initialize NetLabel

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 ✨ — this one's a tiny little function that does a very big job: it gets NetLabel ready before literally anyone touches it. One shot, first use, no cap 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_init — Initialize NetLabel 💖

Like, the function's whole personality is "set things up so nothing explodes later." She's the friend who books the reservation before the group chat even decides where to eat 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int netlbl_init (void );

Returns an int, takes nothing. That's it, that's the whole vibe 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. Zero. None. She does not want your input, she does not need your input, she is booked and busy 💅

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Perform the required NetLabel initialization before first use 💖

Which is to say: this is the required setup that has to go down before NetLabel gets used for the very first time. Required, bestie — not optional, not "if you feel like it" 🌸 It's the pre-first-use ritual and she is not skipping it 🎀

Heads up bestie 🫶 some of these are literally the config setters and deleters, some are catmap/bitmap walkers and setters, some are socket / connection / request / skbuff attr handlers, plus the cache crew and the audit starter. All of them are the same 9 section, all of them are part of the same NetLabel household. Go read them if you want the full lore 💜
