fcoe_init(9)

💖 fcoe_init(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the page for fcoe_init(9). Yes, that's the header. Slay. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fcoe_init — the function that initializes fcoe.ko 💅

Like, it's the "wake up babe, we're loading" moment for that module. No cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int fcoe_init (void );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's simple, she's iconic 🎀

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• void — no arguments. literally none. zero. the void is the argument. she takes nothing and she needs nothing 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🥳
• a negative value on failure 😭

so like, vibe check: if you get 0, we ate. if it's negative, something went wrong and it's giving "oops" energy fr fr.

quick reminder: fcoe_init takes nothing (literally void) and hands you back 0 or a negative number. that's the entire contract. don't overthink her 💅
