STRUCT DEVLINK_DPIPE_HEADER(9)

💅 struct devlink_dpipe_header(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the struct devlink_dpipe_header(9) page — it's a Kernel API Manual situation and honestly it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct devlink_dpipe_header — the dpipe header object, periodt. That's literally it, that's the whole vibe 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct devlink_dpipe_header {
    const char *name;
    unsigned int id;
    struct devlink_dpipe_field *fields;
    unsigned int fields_count;
    bool global;
 };

no cap, that's the entire struct — five members, all iconic in their own way 👑

---

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's do a little member-by-member vibe check, one at a time, no skipping 🫶

• name — the header name 💫 lowkey self-explanatory but yes, this is what the header is called.
• id — the index, bestie. and listen, whether it's global or local is determined by the global bit — they're linked like that, iykyk 🔥
• fields — the fields. that's it. that's the description. the fields are fields 💀 (she's a pointer to struct devlink_dpipe_field, in case the synopsis didn't already spoil it for you).
• fields_count — the number of fields 🌸 like, how many of them there are. very demure, very mindful counting.
• global — this one's the main character 👑 it indicates if the header is shared like most protocol headers, or if it's driver specific. literally the whole global-vs-driver-specific distinction lives in this one bool and I'm obsessed.

ngl the fields one being described as just "fields" is so real of the kernel docs 😭 but we respect her, she ate.
