STRUCT USBIP_HEADER(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet struct usbip_header(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally the one shared header that every usbip packet rocks. common header energy, no cap 👑✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole glow-up, exactly as it appears:

       struct usbip_header {
           struct usbip_header_basic base;
           union {
             struct usbip_header_cmd_submit  cmd_submit;
             struct usbip_header_ret_submit  ret_submit;
             struct usbip_header_cmd_unlink  cmd_unlink;
             struct usbip_header_ret_unlink  ret_unlink;
           } u;
        };

The way this struct is nested is giving main character with a union sidekick 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

• base — the basic header. It's the foundation, the basic-info bestie of the whole thing.
• u — the packet type dependent header. This union is where the packet-type-specific glow lives: cmd_submit, ret_submit, cmd_unlink, and ret_unlink all get their moment depending on the packet. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
