🎀 skb_reset_tr...ader_careful(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about one careful little boolean function. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

skb_reset_transport_header_careful — conditionally reset transport header

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool skb_reset_transport_header_careful (struct sk_buff *skb );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• skb — the buffer to alter. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so this is the hardened version of skb_reset_transport_header. no cap, that's the whole description. it's the careful one 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns true if the operation was a success. that's the return, bestie ✨
