i40e_aq_get_firmware_version — bestie's little spy mission into the NIC's firmware closet 🕵️‍♀️✨

okay so real quick, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one function, so like… let's get into it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_aq_get_firmware_version (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16
*fw_major_version , u16 *fw_minor_version , u32 *fw_build , u16
*api_major_version , u16 *api_minor_version , struct
i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

she's giving "long signature, no notes" 🙈 every single one of those pointers matters, do not lose one, i'm literally begging 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct 👑 this is the main character, the hardware herself.
  • fw_major_version — firmware major version 🍓 the big number.
  • fw_minor_version — firmware minor version 🌸 the little number next to the big number.
  • fw_build — firmware build number 🔢 the "when was this exact thing compiled" number.
  • api_major_version — major queue version 🦋 yes that's what the original says, major queue version, i'm just passing the info along bestie.
  • api_minor_version — minor queue version ⭐ same deal, the minor one.
  • cmd_details — pointer to the command details structure, or NULL 💀 like, you can pass NULL, she's chill like that.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜
