okay bestie, welcome to the <cyan>Kernel API Manual</cyan> ✨ this one's called i40e_aq_get_dcb_config(9) and she's a little mysterious ngl, but we gotchu 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_aq_get_dcb_config β€” and that's it. that's the whole name section. no lil description tag, no nothing. the original page literally leaves it blank after the dash so we're not gonna make one up, periodt πŸ’€ (iconic of her to be this mysterious, honestly)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_aq_get_dcb_config (struct i40e_hw *hw , u8 mib_type , u8
bridgetype , struct i40e_dcbx_config *dcbcfg );

she's an int, she takes four things, she's living her best life πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hw β€” pointer to the hw struct. just your friendly neighborhood hardware handle πŸ¦‹
  • mib_type β€” mib type for the query πŸ‘€
  • bridgetype β€” bridge type for the query, and bestie it's the remote one (the page says so, i'm just passing the message along πŸ“¨)
  • dcbcfg β€” the store for LLDPDU data πŸ“ like, this is where the goodies land

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

Query DCB configuration from the Firmware 🌈 that's the whole vibe. you call her, she goes and asks the firmware what's up with the DCB config, and the answer gets stashed in your dcbcfg. lowkey elegant, highkey useful πŸ‘‘

ngl the original description is one single line and we are respecting that. no extra lore, no invented behaviour, just the query doing its thing πŸ’…

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the kernel file lives here, in case you wanna go read the source like the main character you are:

like i said. entire fam. ate πŸ’…βœ¨
