i40e_aq_mac_address_write(9)

💅 i40e_aq_mac_address_write(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for i40e_aq_mac_address_write(9). this is the function that changes the MAC addresses, and it is lowkey giving “small signature, important job” energy. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_aq_mac_address_write — change the MAC addresses. that’s the whole name section, bestie. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_aq_mac_address_write (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 flags , u8 *mac_addr , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hw struct. yes, that hw struct, the main character. 👑
• flags — indicates which MAC is gonna be written. lowkey important. 👀
• mac_addr — the address to write. that’s it, that’s the address. 💅
• cmd_details — pointer to the command details structure, or NULL. so you can pass details or just vibe with NULL. 🫶
