🌸 NAME 🌸

struct devlink_dpipe_action — the struct that represents an action operation 💅 yep, that's the whole vibe, she's an action operation and she's iconic for it

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct devlink_dpipe_action {
    enum devlink_dpipe_action_type type;
    unsigned int header_index;
    struct devlink_dpipe_header *header;
    unsigned int field_id;
 };

like, that's the whole shape of her, four fields, no notes 👑

🦋 Members 🦋

• type — the type of action, fr fr that's what it is, it's giving "what kind of action are we even doing here" 🫶
• header_index — the header index 💫 and this one matters so listen up: packets can have several headers of the same type, like in the case of tunnels, so yeah, you need the index, slay
• header — the header 📨 just. the header. that's her
• field_id — the field index 🔍 the index of the field, periodt
