selinux_net...ssoc_request(9)

💅 selinux_netlbl_sctp_assoc_request — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and you gotta label an incoming sctp association. That's literally what this one does. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int selinux_netlbl_sctp_assoc_request (struct sctp_association *asoc ,
struct sk_buff *skb );

Two args, one int coming back at you. No cap 💜

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• asoc — the incoming association, bestie. That's the whole vibe of the thing ✨
• skb — the packet. The actual packet. 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

A new incoming connection is represented by asoc, ......

Returns zero on success, negative values on failure. That's it, that's the whole deal. Slay 🔥

ngl the ...... is doing a LOT of lifting here, but that's genuinely all the manpage gives us, so we're not gonna make stuff up. Periodt 💅

Cute lil sign-off: this masterpiece of documentation lives at ./security/selinux and is dated October 2026, page selinux_net...ssoc_request(9) — yes, the header truncates it like that, we don't make the rules 🙈. Have fun labeling those associations, bestie, and stay hydrated 💖🌸🎀
