i40e_get_priv_flags(9)

💅 NAME

i40e_get_priv_flags — bestie, this one literally just reports the device private flags ✨ (this is from the Kernel API Manual, for the record)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 i40e_get_priv_flags (struct net_device *dev );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• dev — the network interface device structure. that's the whole vibe check for this one 🌸

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the get string set count and the string set have to be matched up for every single flag that gets returned. no cap, they're a pair, they ride together 💖

and if you're adding a new flag? you also gotta add new strings for it to the i40e_gstrings_priv_flags array. that's the rule, periodt 👑

it returns a u32 bitmap of flags — that's it, that's the whole function, iconic behavior honestly 🔥

ngl that see-also list is long enough to be its own group chat 😭 but every single one of them ate, no notes 💜

okay that's the whole page bestie, ily, go read your flags 🌈💖
