✨ tipc_parse_udp_addr(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a little function from ./net/tipc that's basically the glow-up artist for UDP media addresses 💅 like it takes the raw netlink data and turns it into something the TIPC media layer can actually slay with. obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_parse_udp_addr — build udp media address from netlink data

literally what it says on the tin, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int tipc_parse_udp_addr (struct nlattr *nla , struct udp_media_addr
*addr , u32 *scope_id );

three args, one int coming back at you, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• nla — the netlink attribute holding the sockaddr storage aligned address. like, this is the raw material bestie, it's giving "unprocessed data" energy 🙈
• addr — the tipc media address you're filling up with address, port and protocol type. this is the main character of the whole operation 👑
• scope_id — an IPv6 scope id pointer. and ok this is the important bit: if it's not NULL, that means it's required. not optional, not "eh whatever", required fr fr 💀
