💅 nla_put_le32 — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the nla_put_le32 page from the Kernel API Manual (that's section 9, iykyk) — this is the little function that goes "here, have a __le32 netlink attribute" and yeets it onto a socket buffer. it's giving humble but essential. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nla_put_le32 — Add a __le32 netlink attribute to a socket buffer. no cap, that's literally the whole job. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nla_put_le32 (struct sk_buff *skb , int attrtype , __le32 value );

look at her. three args, returns an int, absolutely iconic. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • skb — the socket buffer you're adding the attribute to. this is the canvas, the main character, the place where it all goes down. 🎨
  • attrtype — the attribute type. gotta tell everyone what kind of attribute this is, fr fr. 🏷️
  • value — the numeric value itself. the actual number. the payload of the whole situation. 🔢

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is where it gets unhinged (affectionate) — the Kernel file ./include/net/netlink.h and honestly like the entire netlink extended family shows up. everybody's here. the whole group chat. 🫶

like I said. the entire family reunion. 🍓

lowkey the friendliest way to remember it: there's a putter for basically every type under the sun, and nla_put_le32 is the little-endian 32-bit one. go read the others when you need them bestie, they're all right there. 💜
