i40e_aq_get_rss_key(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, we're looking at i40e_aq_get_rss_key(9) from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? She's short, she's sweet, she's a little mysterious 💅 Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_aq_get_rss_key —

and that's it. That's the whole name section. No description, no little tagline, nothing 😭 the manpage just hits the dash and dips. Iconic of her, honestly. So the only tea we have to work with is what's down below 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_aq_get_rss_key (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 vsi_id , struct
i40e_aqc_get_set_rss_key_data *key );
Heads up bestie — that's literally character-for-character what's on the page, spacing and all. Don't come for me about the space before the semicolons, the original said what it said 🎀

So: it returns an int, and it wants three things. Let's meet them 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. Like, the whole hardware situation lives in there. You're handing her the keys to the vibes 💅
  • vsi_id — the vsi fw index. Yes, fw as in firmware, she's got her own index and you gotta hand it over ✨
  • key — pointer to the key info struct. That's your struct i40e_aqc_get_set_rss_key_data *, and it's where the key stuff is gonna land 🦋

That's the whole cast. Three arguments, no drama, no cap 🌸

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

First up, the source neighborhood she lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c

And then… the friend group. The whole friend group. Like, everybody in the i40e kernel API manual shows up to this party 👑 and I'm not skipping a single one, so buckle up buttercup:

like. EVERYONE. the whole roster. she said "you will know my entire social circle" and honestly? respect 🌈

Also lowkey worth saying out loud: this page doesn't give you a RETURN VALUE section, a DESCRIPTION, an ERRORS, nothing. Just the signature, the three arguments, and the guest list. So I'm not gonna sit here and invent behavior for you — that would be lying to my bestie and I would never 💀

okay that's the whole page bestie!! 🎀 She lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, she's stamped October 2026, and that's the vibe. Go get that RSS key, you absolute main character 👑💖✨
