netlbl_unlab...ticremovedef(9)

🎀 netlbl_unlab...ticremovedef(9) 🎀

okay so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, the name is literally longer than my attention span — the man page gods truncated it to netlbl_unlab...ticremovedef(9), and honestly? iconic of them. no cap, that's the actual title, we're not fixing it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_unlabel_staticremovedef — the little function that handles a STATICREMOVEDEF message 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int netlbl_unlabel_staticremovedef (struct sk_buff *skb , struct
       genl_info *info );

like… that's the whole signature. she's compact. she's direct. she's got two arguments and she's not sorry 💖

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• skb — the NETLINK buffer 🌈 (yes, the buffer, the one and only)
• info — the Generic NETLINK info block 🎀

that's it. two things. two little guys. give them what they need and she'll do her job ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she actually do? she processes a user generated STATICREMOVEDEF message, and then — drumroll please 🥁 — she removes the default unlabeled connection entry. periodt. the default one. gone. that's the whole assignment and she ate 💅

and the return values, because we always check the return values bestie:

• returns zero on success 😌 (slay, we love a clean zero)
• returns negative values on failure 💀 (not slay, but at least she's honest about it)

ngl, always vibe check that return value. negative values mean something went wrong, and she will not sugarcoat it for you 😭

okay that's the whole page, go touch some kernel code 💜

source/version note for the girlies keeping receipts: this one lives under ./net/netlabel, dated October 2026, and the footer still calls her by the full dramatic name netlbl_unlab...ticremovedef(9) 🎀✨
