🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

int fcoe_interface_setup (struct fcoe_interface *fcoe , struct
       net_device *netdev );

two args in, an int out, no cap 💖

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• fcoe — The new FCoE interface 🌟 (this is the baby being born, okay? the fresh one.)
• netdev — The net device that the fcoe interface is on 🔌 (the network place where all this is happening, iykyk)

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 for success 🌈
