api_cmd_create_chain(9)

💅 api_cmd_create_chain(9) — your Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is api_cmd_create_chain(9). she's short, she's sweet, she does exactly one thing, and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

api_cmd_create_chain — literally creates you an API CMD specific chain. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct hinic_api_cmd_chain * api_cmd_create_chain (struct
hinic_api_cmd_chain_attr *attr );

look at her go. so clean. so deliberate. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• attr — the attributes to set the chain 👑. this is you handing over the vibe spec, and she builds the chain around it.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

she returns the created chain. that's the content. that's the tea. 🍓

like, genuinely, the description here is one line and we respect that about her — she's not out here writing paragraphs when the whole documented behaviour is "return the created chain", and honestly? lowkey refreshing. ✨

✨ mwah, that's the page ✨ so this little legend comes to you courtesy of that gloriously truncated source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/..., dated October 2026, and yes she really did fit api_cmd_create_chain(9) in the corner of the footer the whole time. take care of her, she's doing great, ily, bye 💖🎀🦋
