STRUCT DEVLINK_DPIPE_HEADERS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore, and yes, it's iconic) β€” and it's literally all about struct devlink_dpipe_headers, aka the dpipe headers situation. bestie, it's a tiny struct with big main character energy πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct devlink_dpipe_headers β€” dpipe headers, periodt. that's the whole name, no notes πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the vibe, verbatim, don't come for me:

struct devlink_dpipe_headers {
    struct devlink_dpipe_header **headers;
    unsigned int headers_count;
 };

ok so it's giving "small struct, two fields, knows exactly what it is" ✨


πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

  • headers β€” the header array 🫢 and here's the tea: it can be shared (that's the global bit) or driver specific. so it's flexible like that, lowkey an icon.
  • headers_count β€” the count of headers. literally just how many headers are in there, no cap πŸ”₯

this is the friend group, and it is large. linking the kernel file ./include/net/devlink.h and honestly the whole devlink extended universe πŸ‘‘
