📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_read_mac_addr_vf — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so this is the <pink>fm10k_read_mac_addr_vf</pink> page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? She's short, she's sweet, she's iconic. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_read_mac_addr_vf — literally just: Read device MAC address 💖

That's it. That's the vibe. No cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 fm10k_read_mac_addr_vf (struct fm10k_hw *hw );

So she takes one argument and hands you back an s32 — the return type is right there, front and center, and yes bestie we are keeping it exactly as written. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 💅 that's the whole thing, she just wants the pointer to the hardware struct, and then she goes off and does her little task. Main character energy fr fr.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This function should determine the MAC address for the VF 👑

Read that again: should determine the MAC address for the VF. That's the assignment. That's the mission. She's figuring out what the MAC address is for the VF and that is genuinely all the manpage gives us, so we're not gonna sit here and make stuff up, iykyk 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

So the kernel file she lives in is:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_vf.c

And here's the whole friend group, the entire squad of _vf icons — go say hi to all of them:

Like, that's fourteen functions. Fourteen!! The way this file is stacked with _vf functions is honestly giving family reunion 🧚💜

Okay bestie, that's the whole page, no crumbs left 🍓 — and for the official receipts: this came from that source path above (./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f...) and the date on the tin is October 2026, so mark your calendar, timestamp your screenshots, and go read your MAC addresses responsibly. Slay, periodt, bye! 💅🌈⭐
