vlan_remove_tag(9)

💖 vlan_remove_tag — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for vlan_remove_tag. It's giving “remove the outer VLAN tag from the payload” energy, and honestly? iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

vlan_remove_tag — remove outer VLAN tag from payload. that's the whole name vibe, periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vlan_remove_tag (struct sk_buff *skb , u16 *vlan_tci );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• skb — the skbuff to remove the tag from. this is the main character payload container, lowkey. 💖
• vlan_tci — the buffer to store the value. yes bestie, it's where the value goes. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the setup: this function expects the skb to contain a VLAN tag in the payload, and it also expects skb->data to be pointing at the MAC header. no cap, that's the contract. 💅✨

bestie, this isn't a “guess what I'm holding” situation — the function expects the VLAN tag to be in the payload and expects skb->data to point at the MAC header. that's the energy it needs. 🎀
