hinic_init_rxq(9)
π hinic_init_rxq β the kernel api manual glow-up π
okay bestie, so this one is a hinic function (that's the Huawei NIC driver, iykyk) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9. Let me tell you everything about it, no cap. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int hinic_init_rxq (struct hinic_rxq *rxq , struct hinic_rq *rq , struct
net_device *netdev );
that's the whole signature, character for character, don't @ me π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
rxqβ the Logical Rx Queue, aka the main character of this function π«Άrqβ the Hardware Rx Queue, and its whole job is to get connected up with the Logical queuenetdevβ the network device, also getting connected to the Logical queue
three little arguments, all linked together, it's giving friendship bracelet energy honestly π
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe check: it returns 0 on success, and a negative value on failure. That's it. That's the whole description in the original. Iconic minimalism, honestly. β
lowkey obsessed with how the manpage spends more words on the SEE ALSO list than the actual description, but we respect the author's choices π

like genuinely that's a whole squad right there, go read them all bestie, they're all (9) so you know they're kernel API manual pages too π

this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/... and it's dated October 2026 β yes bestie, the future, we love a forward-thinking manpage π and the function name plus section is right there in the corner as hinic_init_rxq(9), as it should be. periodt. πβ¨π¦
