πŸ’… i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_write(9)

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie β€” today's main character is i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_write, and no cap, the whole job is literally right there in the name: it writes into a netdev_ops datum πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_write β€” write into netdev_ops datum πŸ¦‹

That's it. That's the whole vibe. It writes, and what it writes into is the netdev_ops datum. Iconic, concise, slay.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_write (struct file *filp , const char __user
       *buffer , size_t count , loff_t *ppos );

so it hands you back an ssize_t, and it takes four things β€” a filp, a buffer, a count, and a ppos πŸ‘‘


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • filp β€” the opened file, fr fr. it's the file that's already been opened, just vibing there πŸ’–
  • buffer β€” where to find the user's data ⭐ this is the spot where the user's stuff is hanging out
  • count β€” the length of the user's data ✨ so like, how much of the user's data we're working with
  • ppos β€” file position offset 🌸 the offset into the file position, iykyk

first up, the kernel file this whole thing lives in β€” go look at it, it's giving source code realness:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_debugfs.c

and then the whole friend group, all of these little functions, every single one, no skipping πŸ’œ:

like genuinely go read them, they're all sitting there in the same directory being useful 🧚

and that's the page, bestie!! πŸŽ€ this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_write(9) β€” mwah, love that for us πŸ’…πŸ’–πŸ”₯
