STRUCT GENL_DUMPIT_INFO(9)

✨ struct genl_dumpit_info(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes we're in the kernel docs, yes it's giving big-brain energy, and yes you're gonna get it 💅 This one's about struct genl_dumpit_info, which is literally just the info that is available during the dumpit op call. That's the whole vibe. Let's go 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct genl_dumpit_info — the info that is available during dumpit op call 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct genl_dumpit_info {
    struct genl_split_ops op;
    struct genl_info info;
 };

---

🎀 Members 🎀

So the struct has exactly two members and honestly? Iconic minimalism.

• op — generic netlink ops, for internal genl code usage 🔥 (like, it's for the genl internals' eyes only, iykyk)
• info — a struct genl_info describing the request 👑
