✨ nft_pipapo_privsize ✨

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore 💅), and it's about the tiniest little helper in the pipapo set universe. Grab your iced coffee, this one's short and sweet 🍓

🎀 NAME 🎀

nft_pipapo_privsize — returns the size of the private data for the set. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey iconic for how unbothered it is 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u64 nft_pipapo_privsize (const struct nlattr * const nla[] , const
       struct nft_set_desc *desc );

It hands you back a u64, takes a const array of netlink attribute pointers nla[], and a pointer to the set description desc. Cute, right? 🦋

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • nla — the netlink attributes. it gets ignored, bestie, because the size doesn't depend on them. not even a little. it's giving "i'm just here so i don't get fined" 😭
  • desc — the set description. also ignored, for the exact same reason: the size doesn't depend on it. bye 😌
ngl the two arguments are literally just vibing in the signature — neither one changes the answer 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The size of the private data for this set implementation, in bytes. periodt 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

So there's a whole crew of pipapo functions and this one runs with all of them — plus the theory doc that explains the whole thing iykyk:

like, all of them. the whole family reunion 👑

That's the page, bestie — short, honest, and zero drama. Sourced straight from ./net/netfilter, dated October 2026, and that's the whole manual page wrapped up with a little bow 🎀🫶 go forth and size your private data, you absolute main character 💜✨
