netlbl_unlab...taticlistdef(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

netlbl_unlabel_staticlistdef β€” okay so this is the handler for a STATICLISTDEF message, and yes bestie it's exactly as niche and iconic as it sounds ✨

So like, quick vibe check: this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "deep in the netlabel guts, doing the quiet work" energy. Not me being obsessed with a kernel function but here we are 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int netlbl_unlabel_staticlistdef (struct sk_buff *skb , struct netlink_callback *cb );

Yeah that's the whole signature, no cap. Returns an int, takes two pointers, slays πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • skb β€” literally the NETLINK buffer. That's it. That's the arg. The data lives here 🌸
  • cb β€” the NETLINK callback. Also exactly what it says on the tin, no extra lore 🌈

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So what actually happens here: it processes a user generated STATICLISTDEF message, and then dumps the default unlabeled connection entry β€” but not in some random messy format, bestie, it formats it "in a form suitable for use in a kernel generated STATICLISTDEF message" πŸ‘‘

And what does it return? The length of skb. Periodt. That's the return value, that's the whole story.


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

So first of all, the kernel file it lives in β€” go look, it's right there:

  • ./net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c

And now the whole friend group, the full squad, every single one of them, no skips 🧚:


okay that's the whole page, you ate it, i'm so proud of you πŸ“πŸ’–

Sign-off time, and it's a cute one: this beauty comes from ./net/netlabel, dated October 2026, and the manual name is netlbl_unlab...taticlistdef(9) β€” yeah the header abbreviates it, that's just how the kernel rolls 😭 go forth and staticlistdef responsibly, iykyk πŸ’€πŸ‘‘
