💅 fcoe_ctlr_vn_send(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a mood. It's all about fcoe_ctlr_vn_send — the little function that yeets a FIP VN2VN Probe Request or Reply out into the world. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fcoe_ctlr_vn_send — Send a FIP VN2VN Probe Request or Reply. That's it. That's the function. She's a sender, she sends. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fcoe_ctlr_vn_send (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip , enum fip_vn2vn_subcode
sub , const u8 *dest , size_t min_len );

literally the whole signature up there, no cap. Void return, so she's not giving you anything back except good vibes and a packet. 🦋

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

okay bestie, let's meet the parameters one by one, they're all iconic in their own way:

  • fip — The FCoE controller. She's the main character, the one holding everything together. 👑
  • sub — sub-opcode for probe request, reply, or advertisement. It's giving "which flavor of packet are we sending today" energy. 🍓
  • dest — The destination Ethernet MAC address. Where the packet's going, iykyk. 📬
  • min_len — minimum size of the Ethernet payload to be sent. Like, the payload has to be at least this big, no exceptions. 🙈
