skb_find_text(9)

✨ NAME ✨

skb_find_text — find a text pattern in skb data, bestie. This page is skb_find_text(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving search-but-make-it-kernel. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Okay so here's the exact signature, copy it like your life depends on it:

unsigned int skb_find_text (struct sk_buff *skb , unsigned int from ,
       unsigned int to , struct ts_config *config );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the buffer to look in. Like, the actual place we're snooping. 👀
• from — search offset.
• to — search limit.
• config — textsearch configuration.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So skb_find_text finds a pattern in the skb data according to the specified textsearch configuration. That's the whole quest. ✨ Use textsearch_next to retrieve subsequent occurrences of the pattern — yes, there can be more than one, bestie. It returns the offset to the first occurrence or UINT_MAX if no match was found. No cap. 💖
