🦋 nla_get_msecs_default(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today’s page is giving tiny-helper main character energy. It’s all about getting the payload of a msecs attribute, or handing you a default when the attribute isn’t there. lowkey iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nla_get_msecs_default — return payload of msecs attribute or default. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned long nla_get_msecs_default (const struct nlattr *nla , unsigned
       long defvalue );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• nla — the msecs netlink attribute, and yes bestie, it may be NULL. no cap.
• defvalue — the default value to use if nla is NULL. the backup bestie 💖

🔥 RETURN 🔥
