💅 struct genl_multicast_group 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner where we're looking at struct genl_multicast_group(9) — the generic netlink multicast group. it's giving "small struct, big group-chat energy" 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct genl_multicast_group — generic netlink multicast group. no cap, that's the whole name vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct genl_multicast_group {
    char name[GENL_NAMSIZ];
    u8 flags;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so this struct has exactly two members and we're gonna give each one their main character moment:

• name — the name of the multicast group, and bestie listen: names are per-family. literally per-family, periodt.
• flags — the GENL_MCAST_* flags. that's the flag situation, fr fr.
