📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_dcbnl_setstate — the Kernel API Manual one, bestie 🎀

okay so welcome to i40e_dcbnl_setstate(9), a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "one job and she does it." let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_dcbnl_setstate — literally just Set DCB state. that's the whole name. that's the whole vibe. no notes 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u8 i40e_dcbnl_setstate (struct net_device *netdev , u8 state );

yes bestie, she returns a u8 and takes exactly two things. copy it exactly, don't improvise, this is not a vibes-based function signature 😭

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • netdev — the corresponding netdev 🫶 the net device in question, the main character of this whole operation
  • state — enable or disable ⭐ you're telling it to turn the DCB state on or off, that's it, that's the whole toggle

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Set the DCB state. 💖

that's it. that's the entire description. she's a one-liner, she's efficient, she said what she said and left. no cap, sometimes the shortest manpage is the most iconic 🌈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

and the entire friend group, in this exact order, no skips:

that's the whole group chat, everyone accounted for, don't leave anyone on read 💀

🫶 friendly reminder: setstate sets the state, getstate gets it. do not mix them up, bestie, that's the kind of thing that ends up in a bug report with your name on it 😭

and that's the page!! brought to you by ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e 💜, dated October 2026, and filed under the manual name i40e_dcbnl_setstate(9) — mwah, slay, periodt, go read the source ✨🎀🦋
