💅 skb_frag_address(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes this is a real page from it, skb_frag_address(9), and no cap it's actually one of the shorter ones so we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

skb_frag_address — gets the address of the data contained in a paged fragment

literally that's the whole job. it hands you a pointer to where the actual bytes live inside a paged fragment. iconic, minimal, does one thing 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void * skb_frag_address (const skb_frag_t *frag );

so it takes one thing and gives you back a void *. that's it. that's the function 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • frag — the paged fragment buffer. this is the thing you're asking about. it's const, so like… hands off, we're just looking 👀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the address of the data within frag.

⚠️ the page must already be mapped. like, must. this is not a vibe check, it's a requirement — if the page isn't mapped yet you don't get a cute answer, you get problems. so map it first, bestie 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the manpage goes feral and lists, like, everything in the skbuff cinematic universe. but every single one is here, no skipping, we're doing this 👑

like I said. cinematic universe. take your time, hydrate, come back to it 🍓

and that's the whole page!! short, sweet, extremely niche 💜

🧚 sign-off time: this lil beauty lives under ./include/linux and the date on it is October 2026. bookmark it, cite it, live laugh love it. bye bestie!! 💖✨
