💖 fm10k_tlv_attr_nest_start(9) 💖

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual, bestie — and this page is literally about starting nested attributes. slay. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_tlv_attr_nest_start - Start a set of nested attributes. no cap, that's the whole name section vibe ✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

the signature, verbatim, because we do not mess with code:

u32 * fm10k_tlv_attr_nest_start (u32 *msg , u16 attr_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• msg — Pointer to message block. literally the message block pointer 💅
• attr_id — Attribute ID. that's the attribute's ID, bestie 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So this function marks off a new nested region for encapsulating a given set of attributes. The whole idea is: if you wish to place a secondary structure within the message, this mechanism allows for that. obsessed with a nested moment, honestly 🧚

Important: the function will return NULL on failure, and a pointer to the start of the nested attributes on success. So like, failure gives you NULL, success gives you the start pointer — no cap. 🔥
