💅 ovpn_peer_ge..._transp_addr(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr — that's section 9, the kernel API manual, and yes the header is literally abbreviated like that, don't come for me, that's just how the page is titled 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr — retrieve peer by transport address 🫶

Like, you have a transport address and you want the peer that goes with it? That's the whole gig. Iconic, honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ovpn_peer * ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr (struct ovpn_priv *ovpn
, struct sk_buff *skb );

Note the struct ovpn_peer * return type up front, and yeah the params are split across two lines exactly like that — copy it verbatim, no cap 💜

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ovpn — the openvpn instance to search 🔍 like, which instance are we even digging through
  • skb — the skb to retrieve the source transport address from 📦 so we're fishing the source transport address out of this bad boy

⭐ RETURN ⭐

a pointer to the peer if found, or NULL otherwise 💀 — that's it, that's the deal. Found = pointer, not found = NULL, no in-between periodt 🌈
