i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq(9)

💅 i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq — bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq, which — say it with me — runs an AQ command. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq — Run an AQ command 🔥

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct i40e_nvm_access
*cmd , u8 *bytes , int *perrno );

like, that's the whole signature. four args. no cap. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. the actual hardware baddie herself. 👑
• cmd — pointer to nvm update command buffer. this is the command, bestie, treat her with respect. 💖
• bytes — pointer to the data buffer. where the data lives. literally.
• perrno — pointer to return error code. so if stuff goes sideways, this is where the tea gets spilled. 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the thing — the cmd structure contains identifiers and a data buffer. that's it. that's the description. short and iconic, honestly. ✨

ngl this page is doing the absolute bare minimum on the description front and i respect the confidence.

and that's the page!! 🎀 this one came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and the manpage slot it lives in is i40e_nvmupd_exec_aq(9). go read the source, bestie, it's giving main character energy 💜🦋⭐
