i40e_hw_to_pf(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– i40e_hw_to_pf β€” kernel api manual, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay so this is i40e_hw_to_pf(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie let me tell you, this one is short and sweet. It's giving "one job, does it well" energy. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

i40e_hw_to_pf β€” get pf pointer from the hardware structure

like literally that's the whole thing. you hand it the hw struct, it hands you back the pf pointer. no cap. 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct i40e_pf * i40e_hw_to_pf (struct i40e_hw *hw );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • hw β€” pointer to the device HW structure. that's it, that's the only thing you pass in. one (1) argument. iconic. πŸ‘‘

first up, the kernel file this whole thing lives near:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h

and then the whole friend group, which, honestly, is a lot of friends β€” but every single one of them is listed here, so let's go, no skipping, iykyk:

literally a whole squad. go read them, they're all in the i40e family and they ate. πŸ’…


reminder bestie: this page has no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses and no warnings β€” it's just one function signature and a see-also list. don't go looking for drama where there isn't any. πŸ™ˆ

okay that's the page!! this lil slice of the kernel api manual came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e and the date on it is October 2026, and it's page i40e_hw_to_pf(9) β€” bye bestie, go convert some hardware structs to pf pointers responsibly πŸŒΈπŸ’œβœ¨
