nla_put_uint(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is nla_put_uint(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it does exactly one iconic thing: add a variable-size unsigned int to a socket buffer. that's the whole assignment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nla_put_uint (struct sk_buff *skb , int attrtype , u64 value );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the socket buffer you're adding the attribute to. it's the canvas, the main character, the whole vibe. 🫶
• attrtype — the attribute type. think of it as the label on the little data package. ✨
• value — the numeric value. the actual number going in. no cap. 🔥
