nla_put_s32(9)

💅 nla_put_s32 — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so this is the manual page for nla_put_s32, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. Yes the header literally repeats the name twice, we're not doing that, you're welcome 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

nla_put_s32 — drop a s32 netlink attribute onto a socket buffer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nla_put_s32 (struct sk_buff *skb , int attrtype , s32 value );

like, three things go in, an int comes out. she's lowkey simple and we love her for it 💖

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• skb — the socket buffer you're adding the attribute to. this is the main character, everything happens inside her 👜
• attrtype — the attribute type. i.e. which flavour of attribute this is, so the kernel knows what it's looking at 👀
• value — the numeric value. a s32, so a signed 32-bit number, no cap. pls don't hand her just anything 🙈
