nla_for_each_attr_type(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for nla_for_each_attr_type(9) 🫶 this one is literally about how to iterate over a stream of attributes — that's the whole NAME, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nla_for_each_attr_type (pos , type , head , len , rem );

yup, that's the whole call, spaces and all 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

bestie, here's the cast — five little slots, no skips:

• pos — loop counter, set to current attribute
• type — required attribute type for pos
• head — head of attribute stream
• len — length of attribute stream
• rem — initialized to len, holds bytes currently remaining in stream

that's it, that's the whole argument list, periodt 🍓
