i40e_delete_clsflower(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_delete_clsflower 💅

okay so first things first, bestie: this is i40e_delete_clsflower(9), and yes, the (9) means it lives in the Kernel API Manual section — driver-land, not "type this in your shell"-land. It's the page that tells you how to yeet tc flower filters off an i40e NIC. It's giving very niche, very powerful, and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_delete_clsflower — remove tc flower filters, one at a time, no crumbs left 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int i40e_delete_clsflower (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , struct
       flow_cls_offload *cls_flower );

Like. That's the whole call. It returns an int, it takes two pointers, and it's gonna be very clear about whether it worked. 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — pointer to the VSI. yes, that's the whole description in the original and I refuse to invent lore — it's just Pointer to VSI. 🫶
  • cls_flower — pointer to struct flow_cls_offload. same energy: literally what the manpage says, and I'm not gonna gaslight you with extra info. 🌷
ngl these are two of the shortest argument docs in existence. the manpage said what it said, and I'm a faithful queen. 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

so. buckle up bestie. this list is long. like, "scrolling for three business days" long. but every single one is here because I would never do you dirty by trimming the syllabus. 📚💖

🧚 the file itself

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

🔥 the whole extended family (yes, all of them)

🌈 and that's the whole page 🌈

no cap, that's genuinely everything this manpage had to say — no options, no env vars, no exit statuses, no bugs section, no authors, no license line. just a name, a signature, two pointers, and a truly enormous friend group. 😭💀

so here's the cute sign-off 🎀: this page comes from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and it's dated October 2026. go forth and delete those flower filters, bestie. you're gonna slay. 💅✨🦋
