Typedef for __kernel_sa_family_t in _fake_typedefs.h (#578)

crosser · crosser-ionos · web-flow · commit 7b24736bbb87 · 2025-08-18T14:26:57.000-07:00
This typedef that exists in the real `linux/socket.h` is masked by the `fake_libc_include` hierarchy. Having it in place allows to successfully parse a large number of Linux kernel headers necessary for netlink operations. This is very useful for Python projects that communicate with the kernel over netlink socket. In particular, this project: https://github.com/ionos-cloud/netlinklib/tree/main/netlinklib plans to use pyparser for parsing strcts defined in the kernel headers.
