Where is skbuff.h file in Ubuntu?

Question

I read in many books that path for skbuff.h is usr/include/linux. I searched in Ubuntu, fedora and backtrack but can't find the header file. Can anybody help me to find this file? Thanks in advance.

It is part of the kernel's source code, so you very likely don't have it installed by default.

Here's how you find out which package(s) owns the file:

~$ dpkg -S skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-22: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-22/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-23: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-23-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-24: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24/include/linux/skbuff.h
linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic/include/linux/skbuff.h
