list to peek at
.RE
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Peek an
sk_buff\&. Unlike most other operations you _MUST_ be careful with this one\&. A peek leaves the buffer on the list and someone else may run off with it\&. You must hold the appropriate locks or have a private queue to do this\&.
.PP
Returns
\fBNULL\fR
for an empty list or a pointer to the head element\&. The reference count is not incremented and the reference is therefore volatile\&. Use with caution\&.
