i40e_is_aq_api_ver_ge(9)
π i40e_is_aq_api_ver_ge β the kernel API manual, but make it make sense π
okay so bestie, real talk: this is the manual page for i40e_is_aq_api_ver_ge from the Kernel API Manual. It's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey doing exactly one thing. Let's get into it β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
bool i40e_is_aq_api_ver_ge (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 maj , u16 min );
yes that's the whole vibe. three arguments, one bool back. iconic behavior, no notes π
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer toi40e_hwstructure. like, the whole hardware context, handed to you on a silver platter π«Άmajβ API major value to compare. the big number, the main character of versioning β¨minβ API minor value to compare. the little number tagging along, still important tho π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what does it do? It asserts whether the current HW API version is greater than or equal to the one you provided. That's it. That's the whole function. It's giving "am I at least this cool?" and honestly? same.
You feed it maj and min, it vibe-checks the current hardware API version against them, and blesses you with a bool. No cap, that's the entire plot π

β¨ cute sign-off β¨
This lil' page lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual. That's it, that's the whole thing β stay slay, stay compiled, and remember: version checks are self-care πππ§
