nla_get_le16_default(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to nla_get_le16_default(9) from the Kernel API Manual — literally the page for return payload of le16 attribute or default. It's giving “if the le16 attr is there, return its payload; if not, use the default” energy, and honestly? iconic. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

__le16 nla_get_le16_default (const struct nlattr *nla , __le16 defvalue
       );

this is the whole signature, bestie — don't let the line wrap gaslight you 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• nla — a __le16 netlink attribute, may be NULL 😭 no cap, it's allowed to be absent.
• defvalue — the default value to use if nla is NULL; your fallback bestie, your emotional support __le16 💖

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It returns the value of the attribute, or the default value if not present. That's the whole return journey. Periodt. ⭐
