πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NE_VEC_REPLY(9) β€” like, the whole vibe

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is NE_VEC_REPLY(9) β€” yes, the manual name is literally in the title, we're not doing that twice, you're welcome 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

NE_VEC_REPLY β€” the MSI-X vector used for command reply notification πŸ””πŸ’Œ

like, when the device has something to tell you back, this is the vector that taps you on the shoulder. it's giving "your reply is ready" energy and honestly? iconic.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

NE_VEC_REPLY

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no arguments, no flags, no drama. main character energy with zero parameters, we love to see it πŸ’…βœ¨

πŸ’€ tiny reminder bestie: NE_VEC_REPLY is the MSI-X vector for command reply notification. don't go confusing her with NE_VEC_EVENT(9), they are different girls and they both have jobs.

okay so that's the page!! written in ./drivers/virt/nitro_enclaves, dated October 2026, and yes it's still called NE_VEC_REPLY(9) at the bottom too because the footer said so and we respect the footer πŸ“βœ¨ mwah, ily, go read your kernel headers πŸ’œ
