Hi,
What is the type of data(skb->data)?

Hi,
What is the type of data(skb->data)?
Raghu
Data type is "struct sk_buff"
Data type is "struct sk_buff"
And what is the type of your variable 'skb'? Because that's the one you're dereferencing
and the compiler objects agains that becasuse it seems to an incomplete type,
i.e. it is declared but not defined somewhere.
kind regards,
Jos
data type is "struct sk_buff".
This is defined in linux/skbuff.h header file.
I am not able to include linux/skbuff.h and net/sock.h header files.
If i include these header files ,i will get many errors like "dereferencing pointer ...." and also some macros are not declared.
Why i cant include these headers file. Plz help me Sir.
Thanking u

You have to find *other* .h files that define the structures and types and include
the linux/skbuff.h etc. files themselves. Always try to find the files highest in the
hierarchy, i.e. stay away as much as possible from the 'linux' subdirectory.
'grep' and 'man' are your friends here.
