💅 nft_pipapo_insert(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual for nft_pipapo_insert — yes it's a kernel function, yes it's iconic, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nft_pipapo_insert — validate and insert ranged elements. that's it. that's the whole vibe check: it checks your element and then it puts it in 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nft_pipapo_insert (const struct net *net , const struct nft_set *set
, const struct nft_set_elem *elem , struct nft_elem_priv **elem_priv );

like literally exactly that, character for character, don't come for me 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • net — the network namespace. the whole little world this set lives in 🌍
  • set — the nftables API set representation. yes, that set, the one we're inserting into 🎀
  • elem — the nftables API element representation, and it's the one holding the key data 🔑 like the actual content, the moment, the main character
  • elem_priv — this one gets filled in for you (not by you, bestie, that's the whole point) with a pointer to struct nft_set_ext in the inserted element ✨

💖 RETURN 💖

  • 0 on success — slay, we ate, no notes 👑
  • an error pointer on failure — not slay, but at least it tells you 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the page just goes absolutely feral with cross-references, so buckle up, we're listing every single one because nobody gets left behind 💜

like… that's the whole friend group right there 🧚 no cap, that's a lot of pipapo and i respect it 💀

lowkey reminder: elem_priv is an output — the function fills it with a pointer to struct nft_set_ext. don't be out here reading it before the call, that's not the move 🙈

and that's the page!! source/version is ./net/netfilter and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, from the future, obviously, main character energy ⭐ bye bestie, go insert some ranged elements responsibly 💖🎀
