STRUCT NFT_OBJECT_HASH_KEY(9)

💖 struct nft_object_hash_key(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a tiny little struct page and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nft_object_hash_key — the key you use to look up an nft_object, periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nft_object_hash_key {
    const char                      *name;
    const struct nft_table          *table;
 };

like, that's the whole thing. two fields. no cap. 🎀

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• name — the name of the stateful object you're trying to look up 🔍 literally just the name string, that's it
• table — the table that the object belongs to 👑 so the kernel knows where to go looking, iykyk
