✨ ovpn_peer_get_by_id(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ovpn_peer_get_by_id page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it — it's the little lookup function that goes "hey, do I have a peer with this ID or not" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ovpn_peer_get_by_id — retrieve peer by ID 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ovpn_peer * ovpn_peer_get_by_id (struct ovpn_priv *ovpn , u32 peer_id );

like, you hand it an ovpn and a peer_id and it hands you back a struct ovpn_peer * — that's the whole vibe 🫶

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • ovpn — the openvpn instance to search 🔍 this is the place we're digging around in
  • peer_id — the unique peer identifier to match 🎯 literally the one ID we're looking for

🎀 RETURN 🎀

a pointer to the peer if found or NULL otherwise 🌈 so either you get your peer, or you get nothing at all — no in-between, no drama, no cap 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ovpn/peer.c — and bestie, the whole peer squad is here, buckle up:

and that's the page, bestie — no bugs to warn you about, no weird caveats, just a clean little lookup 🧚 see you in ./drivers/net/ovpn, October 2026 edition, from the Kernel API Manual, mwah 💖
