fm10k_tlv_attr_parse(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_tlv_attr_parse — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so this is fm10k_tlv_attr_parse(9) from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's a little parser with main character energy. let's get into it 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 fm10k_tlv_attr_parse (u32 *attr , u32 **results , const struct
fm10k_tlv_attr *tlv_attr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • attr — pointer to the attribute list. this is the raw stream, the source material, the moment before the glow-up ✨
  • results — pointer array where we stash pointers to the attributes. it's giving "hold my findings" 🫶
  • tlv_attr — the type and length info for the attributes. the rulebook, the vibe check, the blueprint 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this function validates a stream of attributes and then parses them up into an array of pointers that lives in results. no cap, that's the whole plot 🎬

here's the return-value tea ☕:

  • returns FM10K_ERR_PARAM on any input or message error 😭
  • returns FM10K_NOT_IMPLEMENTED for any attribute that's outside of the array 🙈
  • returns 0 on success — slay, we love a clean zero 💚

and the iconic detail: any attributes not found in tlv_attr are silently ignored. literally no drama, no error, they just don't get invited to the party 🤫✨
