💅 hinic_api_cmd_init (9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, poking at a Huawei NIC, and somebody's gotta set up all the API CMD chains. That somebody is this function. She's the main character of this page, and honestly? She ate. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • chain — the API CMD chains that get initialized. Like, this is the glow-up destination. ✨
  • hwif — the hardware interface of a pci function device. Your actual physical NIC energy. 🔌
