💖 i40e_max_channels 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to i40e_max_channels(9) — yes that's the whole manual name, from the Kernel API Manual itself, and it's literally one function doing one cute little job. no cap, it's a short one. let's get into it. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_max_channels — get Max number of combined channels supported 🌈

like, the maximum max. the ceiling. the final boss of combined channel counts. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int i40e_max_channels (struct i40e_vsi *vsi );

copy it exactly bestie, spaces and all, don't be out here "fixing" the formatting. 🙈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vsi — vsi pointer 🫶 that's it. that's the whole argument list. a single lil pointer, main character energy.

💀 lowkey a warning-ish note: this page lists only the function's name, one-line purpose, one argument, and that absolutely enormous SEE ALSO. if you were hoping for a long DESCRIPTION section with lore — bestie, there isn't one. this is the whole thing. not me checking twice. 🙈

and that's the page! sign-off time 🎀: this one lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the date on the tin is October 2026. so cute, so specific. go call i40e_max_channels on your fav struct i40e_vsi * and slay ✨💖🦋
