NE_VEC_REPLY(9)
π 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 π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
NE_VEC_REPLY β the MSI-X vector used for command reply notification ππ
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.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
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 π β¨
π SEE ALSO π
okay this is the part where we list everyone in the group chat, and there are a LOT of them, so buckle up buttercup πΈ

π tiny reminder bestie:NE_VEC_REPLYis the MSI-X vector for command reply notification. don't go confusing her withNE_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 πβ¨ mwah, ily, go read your kernel headers π
