hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg (9) β€” a little kernel-API moment, section 9 style πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally about hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg. yes, that's a whole function name, no we're not abbreviating it, we're respecting the icon behavior πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg β€” tbl

that's it. that's the description. the kernel said "tbl" and honestly? mood. short, mysterious, giving cryptic main character energy. we move 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

so the whole thing literally goes like this, copy it exactly, don't freestyle it:

void hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg (struct dsaf_device *dsaf_dev , struct
       dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg *mcast );

returns void, so like... it gives you nothing back and yet expects everything from you. relatable honestly 😭


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

two of them. count 'em. ✌️

  • dsaf_dev β€” the dsa fabric id. that's the device handle you're handing over, bestie 🧚
  • mcast β€” the addr. that's the multicast config chunk β€” the manpage just calls it "addr" and we're not about to lie to you and pretend it says more than that πŸ™ˆ

no cap, that's the entire argument list. no hidden ones, no surprises. periodt ✨


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

this is the part where the manpage absolutely pops off, because there is so much family here. like a whole group chat of hisilicon hns functions. every single one, coming right up, in the exact order they appear πŸ“

the kernel file this all lives in is: ./drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/hns_dsaf_main.c

and now the squad:

that's 57 cross-references, bestie. fifty-seven. whoever wrote this page was NOT playing around. iykyk πŸ’€πŸ”₯

ngl, if you got here looking for a long explanation of behavior, the manpage is kinda minimal β€” tbl, dsa fabric id, addr. we're serving the facts exactly as they were served to us, no invented lore πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

and that's the whole page, diva 🌈

ta-ta for now, and remember where this came from: source/version tag ./drivers/net/ethernet/hisilic..., dated October 2026, filed under hns_dsaf_tbl_tcam_mcast_cfg(9). slay, stay hydrated, go call it with the right struct πŸ’…πŸ’œ
