bnx2x_dcbx_init(9)

💖 bnx2x_dcbx_init(9) — kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for bnx2x_dcbx_init 💅 this one's a short one, ngl — it's basically a one-line baddie that does exactly what it says on the tin.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_dcbx_init — initialize dcbx protocol. periodt. that's the whole job 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2x_dcbx_init (struct bnx2x *bp , bool update_shmem );

she takes two things, she returns void (so like, no gossip back 💀), and she's pronounced "dcbx init" iykyk.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — the driver handle 🫶 like, the little passkey to the whole driver situation.
• update_shmem — okay so the original literally just says -- undescribed -- 😭 like the docs team said "we'll come back to it" and then never did. so, respectfully, that's all the info we have: a bool named update_shmem. no cap, that's it. don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🧚

lowkey a mood that the ARGUMENTS section has less info than the SEE ALSO section. priorities were made 💀
