💅 i40e_dcbnl_ieee_delapp(9) — the Kernel API Manual one, bestie ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about i40e_dcbnl_ieee_delapp — yes that's a whole mouthful, we'll get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_dcbnl_ieee_delapp — literally just delete local IEEE App configuration. that's the whole vibe. it deletes. it's an app. IEEE flavoured. slay 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_dcbnl_ieee_delapp (struct net_device *netdev , struct dcb_app
*app );

so it hands you back an int, and it takes exactly two things: a struct net_device *netdev and a struct dcb_app *app. two besties walk into a function. no cap 😌

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • netdev — the corresponding netdev. that's it, that's the whole description. it's the netdev, the one that corresponds. iconic minimalism honestly 👑
  • app — a structure to hold the Application information. it's the container, it's holding the info, it's doing the work 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does it actually do? it deletes local IEEE App configuration — but heres the catch, and this is important so listen up 🧚:

it deletes local IEEE App configuration other than the first application required by firmware 🫶

so like. the firmware has one app it absolutely needs, and that one stays. periodt. everything else on the local level? gone. deleted. not me being a little ruthless 💀

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

first up, the source itself lives in:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_dcb_nl.c

and here's the whole friend group — every single one of these, no skipping bestie, i'm being so fr fr:

like. that is a squad. i'm obsessed 🦋

that's the whole page bestie, go delete some apps (respectfully, firmware's favourite stays) 💜✨
