fcoe_enable(9)

💅 fcoe_enable — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, kernel girlies rise)

okay so bestie, welcome to fcoe_enable(9). This whole thing lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about turning a FCoE interface on. That's the whole vibe. Short page, iconic behavior. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fcoe_enable — Enables a FCoE interface 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fcoe_enable (struct net_device *netdev );

That's the whole signature. Look at her go. 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• netdev — the struct net_device object, i.e. the Ethernet interface you want to create on. That's it, that's the parameter, no cap. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this one gets Called from fcoe transport. That's the whole description. She's a called-from function and she said "that's my lore, that's my whole backstory." 🎀

✨ RETURN ✨

• 0 for success ✅

That's it. 0 means we ate. Zero on the return and zero notes. 💅

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Bestie there are so many siblings, prepare yourself, this family is HUGE. Also, the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.c — go say hi. 🌸

ngl that's 57 functions, I counted, and they all said "tag urself." The (9) is doing a LOT of work here. 🔥
