nla_find_nested(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

nla_find_nested — bestie, this is the function that goes digging through a set of nested attributes to find you the one you actually want ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS

struct nlattr * nla_find_nested (const struct nlattr *nla , int attrtype );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • nla — the attribute that's holding all the nested attributes, like the cutest little container ever. It's the one doing the containing, not the one being found 🫶
  • attrtype — the type of attribute you're hunting for. This is the vibe check you're running everything against 👑

💖 RETURN

It gives you back the first attribute which matches the specified type. First match wins, no cap — it doesn't keep scrolling once it finds the one 🔥
