💅 sel_ib_pkey_find(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the cute little manual page for sel_ib_pkey_find(9). It’s giving kernel API, it’s giving pkey search, and we’re gonna read it together. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sel_ib_pkey_find — Search for a pkey record.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sel_ib_pkey * sel_ib_pkey_find (u64 subnet_prefix , u16 pkey_num
);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• subnet_prefix — okay so this is subnet_prefix, typed as u64. That’s the whole label in the original, no cap. 💅
• pkey_num — and this is pkey_num, typed as u16. Iconic name, iconic type, we move. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Search the pkey table and return the matching record. If an entry cannot be found in the table, return NULL. That’s it, that’s the lore. 🫶

No cap: it searches the pkey table, hands back the matching record, and when there’s no match you get NULL. Main character energy from a tiny function, honestly. 💜
