fcoe_match(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the fcoe_match(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, folded in right here instead of doing a boring copied header line. This function checks if the FCoE is supported on the given netdevice. Tiny, iconic, main character energy. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool fcoe_match (struct net_device *netdev );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the net_device object the Ethernet interface to create on. That's the one and only arg, bestie. 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this one gets called from fcoe transport. That's the whole description — no extra plot twists, no side quests. It's giving “small but mighty” energy. 🦋

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It always returns true — no cap. Why? Because this is the default FCoE transport, i.e., support all netdevs. So every netdev gets a yes from this icon. 👑
