i40e_is_fw_ver_eq(9)

💖 i40e_is_fw_ver_eq(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the i40e_is_fw_ver_eq one, we're doing kernel networking today, slay 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_is_fw_ver_eq — and ngl the original page literally leaves the description blank after the dash. iconic behaviour honestly, the function name is doing ALL the work 💅 (fr though, no description was given, so I'm not making one up, unlike some people 😭).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool i40e_is_fw_ver_eq (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 maj , u16 min );

that's the whole vibe. it returns a bool, it takes three things, periodt ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the i40e_hw structure 🫶 like, the whole hardware context, she's the main character here
• maj — the API major value you wanna compare against 👑
• min — the API minor value you wanna compare against 🧚

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does she do? She asserts whether the current firmware version is equal to the one you provided. That's it. That's the whole function. a vibe check for your firmware version, and if it matches, she says yes 💖

lowkey important: this is an assert about equality — you hand her maj and min, she tells you if the firmware matches. that's the entire tea ☕
