i40e_is_vc_addr_legacy(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

i40e_is_vc_addr_legacy — and honestly bestie, the original page gives us nothing after the dash, so we're not about to make up a tagline. It's just the name, sitting there, mysterious, main character energy with no caption. 🎀 (The actual one-liner lives down in DESCRIPTION, keep scrolling.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool i40e_is_vc_addr_legacy (struct virtchnl_ether_addr *vc_ether_addr
);

It returns a bool, it takes one pointer, that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vc_ether_addr — a VIRTCHNL structure that contains the MAC and the type. That's it, that's the whole arg. It's giving "small but mighty". 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so the actual job of this function, fr fr: it checks if the MAC address is from an older VF. That's the description. That's the whole description. Not me being lazy — the page literally says this and nothing else, and I'm not about to invent lore that isn't in the source. 🙈

Like yeah, it's a one-liner of a function description, but it's our one-liner, and it's iconic. 👑

Bestie. Sit down. Get a snack. 🍓 This list is LONG and every single one of these is staying, because we don't do cuts in this house.

Okay that's the whole page, bestie — header said Kernel API Manual, this manual is the i40e_is_vc_addr_legacy(9) one, and the footer credits ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e with a date of October 2026. Slay. 💜✨
