📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nla_get_u16 💅

okay so this is a Kernel API Manual page, section 9, and it's literally about pulling a lil number out of a netlink attribute. short page, iconic energy, let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nla_get_u16 — return payload of u16 attribute

like, that's it. that's the whole job. it returns the payload of a u16 attribute. slay 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u16 nla_get_u16 (const struct nlattr *nla );

copy that exactly bestie, spaces and all, don't come for me 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • nla — a u16 netlink attribute. yes that's the entire argument list. one (1) whole parameter. main character energy honestly 👑

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

okay so this next part is a LOT, and I mean a lot — it's giving "she brought her whole group chat to the function." keep scrolling, they're all here, no cap 💀

Kernel file ./include/net/netlink.h, plus struct nla_policy(9), struct nl_info(9), enum netlink_validation(9) — those three are the VIPs at the door 🎀

and now the whole squad, in order:

that's all 131 of them plus the header file and the three types. full roster, no one left on read 💀🫶

lowkey the whole manpage is shorter than the SEE ALSO list and honestly? that's the vibe. tiny function, massive friend group 💖

ok that's the page!! source is ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — so go forth and get those u16s, bestie, you got this 💅✨🎀
