i40e_is_fw_ver_lt(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to i40e_is_fw_ver_lt(9) from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded in near the top, just like we planned. 💖

i40e_is_fw_ver_lt — and yes, the original NAME line leaves the description after the dash literally empty, so we're not inventing one. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact function signature, no cap:

bool i40e_is_fw_ver_lt (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 maj , u16 min );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to i40e_hw structure. That's the hardware struct, bestie. 🫶
• maj — API major value to compare. Major-number energy. 🔥
• min — API minor value to compare. Minor-number energy. 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This one is short and sweet: it asserts whether the current firmware version is less than the provided one. That's the whole assignment. No extra lore, no side quests — just a version comparison vibe check. ✅
