VIDEOS 》 Linux Kernel struct iphdr data-structure

Download this episode my entire kernel module sample code, make file, clean script HERE. And here is the same source code for a quick reference.

Here is the screenshot of my Sample Example Code discussed in the video above:

Refer:
struct iphdr data-structure - http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/include/uapi/linux/ip.h#L85

And here is the copy paste of struct iphdr data-structure (/include/uapi/linux/ip.h) from the Kernel-source version 4.13 for quick reference:

struct iphdr {
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u8	ihl:4,
		version:4;
#elif defined (__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u8	version:4,
  		ihl:4;
#else
#error	"Please fix "
#endif
	__u8	tos;
	__be16	tot_len;
	__be16	id;
	__be16	frag_off;
	__u8	ttl;
	__u8	protocol;
	__sum16	check;
	__be32	saddr;
	__be32	daddr;
	/*The options start here. */
};
