__ice_set_vf_mac(9)

okay so this is the __ice_set_vf_mac(9) page, and yes it's from the Kernel API Manual — buckle up bestie, we're doing kernel lore today 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

__ice_set_vf_mac — program VF MAC address. That's the whole name, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __ice_set_vf_mac (struct ice_pf *pf , u16 vf_id , const u8 *mac );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pf — the PF to be configure (yes, that's the original wording, and we're respecting the lore 😭). In normal human words: the PF you're setting up.
• vf_id — VF identifier. It tells you which VF we're talking about.
• mac — MAC address. The actual address going in.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function programs the VF MAC address. Like, it takes the PF, the VF identifier, and the MAC address, and that's the mission. Nothing mysterious, just programming a VF MAC address. Periodt. 💖

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns zero on success or an error code on failure. So: happy path = zero; sad path = error code. Slay. ✨
