fm10k_tlv_attr_put_bool(9)

💖 fm10k_tlv_attr_put_bool(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one (1) tiny little function that is honestly iconic in its simplicity. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_tlv_attr_put_bool — adds a header that's basically saying "this value is "true"" 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 fm10k_tlv_attr_put_bool (u32 *msg , u16 attr_id );

like, that's the whole thing. no cap. 🫶

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• msg — a pointer to the message block 💌 (yes, it's a pointer, keep up bestie)
• attr_id — the attribute ID 🏷️

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check: this function will simply add an attribute header. that's it. that's the whole job. 💀

and the way it works is genuinely so clever — the fact that the header is even there means the attribute value is true. like, its existence is the message. main character energy fr fr. 👑

and if the header isn't there? then the value is false. that's it. presence = true, absence = false. periodt. 🌈

the function will return success if you provided it with valid pointers — so like, give it good pointers and it's slay, give it bad ones and… well, don't. 🙈
