i40e_ndo_get_vf_config(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is i40e_ndo_get_vf_config, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual (that's section 9, the kernel-internals girlies, iykyk) ✨

and the description line after the dash? literally empty. blank. a mystery. the manpage said "i40e_ndo_get_vf_config -" and then just… stopped. no cap, that's the whole name section. main character energy of a function that lets its code speak for itself 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_ndo_get_vf_config (struct net_device *netdev , int vf_id ,
       struct ifla_vf_info *ivi );

like, it returns an int, takes three things, we move 🌸

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • netdev — the network interface device structure. that's the netdev, the whole vibe of the interface itself 🫶
  • vf_id — the VF identifier. which virtual function we're talking about, bestie, be specific 💅
  • ivi — the VF configuration structure. the struct ifla_vf_info where the config info hangs out ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

return VF configuration.

that's it. that's the whole description. it returns the VF's configuration — short, sweet, and absolutely not elaborating further 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file this bad girl calls home:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c

and now, the guest list. it is LONG. it's giving family reunion, it's giving every single i40e function pulled up to the same party 👑

like… 95 whole functions. she knows everybody. queen behaviour, honestly 👑

ngl bestie the whole page is three arguments and a four-word description, but the SEE ALSO section ate and left no crumbs 💀

that's the whole thing! sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's a Kernel API Manual situation — mwah, go read the source, love u, bye 🎀💜
