Subject: [PATCH v2 08/12] ip: Add ipproto_name() function
Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2025 01:19:00 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251219141904.1758072-9-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251219141904.1758072-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Add a function to get the name of an IP protocol from its number. Usually
this would be done by getprotobynumber(), but that requires access to
/etc/protocols and might allocate. We can't do either of those once we've
self-isolated.
