aac_fib_alloc(9)

💖 aac_fib_alloc(9) — like, the kernel API manual, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to aac_fib_alloc, a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

aac_fib_alloc — allocate a fib 💅

like yes, that's the whole name section, she's concise and she knows it.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct fib * aac_fib_alloc (struct aac_dev *dev );

that's it. that's the whole call. one argument, one return, no cap. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the adapter you wanna allocate the fib for. literally just hand her the adapter and she'll do her thing. 💜

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: aac_fib_alloc allocates a fib from the adapter's fib pool. 🧚 that's the whole job, and she does it well.

but listen — if the pool is empty? we return NULL. no drama, no error code, just NULL. so like, always check your return value, bestie, fr fr 😭 that's not me being extra, that's just the documented behaviour.
