STRUCT DPKG_MASK(9)

💅 struct dpkg_mask(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you need one single extraction mask, and you do NOT want to hand-roll it. enter struct dpkg_mask, the tiny little icon that does exactly one job and does it flawlessly. main character energy, no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct dpkg_mask — a structure for defining a single extraction mask. that's it, that's the whole vibe. one mask, one struct, slay. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct dpkg_mask {
    u8 mask;
    u8 offset;
 };

literally just two u8s and a dream. look at her. so compact. 🦋

🫶 Members 🫶

• mask — the byte mask for the extracted content. this is the actual masking byte, bestie, the whole point of the struct ngl. 🔥
• offset — the offset within the extracted content. where in the extracted content you're pointing at, fr fr. ⭐

both members are u8, so keep that in mind — no cap, the struct says u8 and we respect the struct. 👑
