fcoe_transport_create(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fcoe_transport_create — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the fcoe_transport_create(9) page — yes that (9) is the section number, it's giving kernel-internals realness, we love that for us ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fcoe_transport_create — literally creates a fcoe interface. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fcoe_transport_create (const char *buffer , const struct
kernel_param *kp );
no cap, copy that signature exactly as it's written — spacing and all — because C does not care about your feelings, it cares about your punctuation 💀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • buffer — the name of the Ethernet interface you wanna create on. like, the actual string name. be nice to it 💖
  • kp — the associated kernel param. it's the little buddy that comes along for the ride, iykyk 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this one gets called from sysfs, right? 🧚

and while it's doing its thing, it holds the ft_mutex the entire time it calls the registered fcoe transport's create function. that's it. that's the tea. the mutex is held, the create runs, nobody else gets in — mutual exclusion is literally the main character here 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 for success 🎉 (zero is the good number bestie, remember that)
