netlbl_skbuff_getattr(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

netlbl_skbuff_getattr — determine the security attributes of a packet.

Okay so this is netlbl_skbuff_getattr(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey giving packet-label detective energy 🕵️‍♀️✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int netlbl_skbuff_getattr (const struct sk_buff *skb , u16 family ,
       struct netlbl_lsm_secattr *secattr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the packet 🫶
• family — protocol family 🌈
• secattr — the security attributes 💜

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Bestie, here's the tea: this function examines the given packet to see if a recognized form of packet labeling is present. If it is, it parses the packet label and returns the security attributes in secattr ✨. Returns zero on success, negative values on failure — no cap, that's the whole vibe check 😭.
