hinic_wqs_alloc(9)

💖 hinic_wqs_alloc — allocate Work Queues set 💖

okay bestie, so this is hinic_wqs_alloc(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, yes, the big scary one, and you're gonna be fine because this page is short and sweet 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int hinic_wqs_alloc (struct hinic_wqs *wqs , int max_wqs , struct
hinic_hwif *hwif );

like, that's the whole vibe. three args, one int coming back at you 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• wqs — the Work Queue Set, bestie. that's your Work Queue Set right there, the main character of this whole function 🫶
• max_wqs — the maximum wqs to allocate. so like, the cap, the limit, the "how many are we doing" number ⭐
• hwif — the HW interface for use for the allocation. it's the hardware interface we're pulling from for this allocation, iykyk 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the whole deal, no cap:

• Return 0 — Success ✨ slay, we ate
• negative — Failure 😭💀

like that's literally it, that's the description. not me expecting more, but honestly? iconic brevity 💖

heads up bestie: the negative return means it didn't work, so please actually check the return value. don't just assume it's fine 🙈
