i40e_nvmupd_get_aq_result(9)

💅 i40e_nvmupd_get_aq_result — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're fancy now) and it's literally the cleanup-crew function of the NVM update saga. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_nvmupd_get_aq_result — bestie, this grabs the results from the previous exec_aq. that's the whole job. it's the "so… how did it go?" text after the "hey can I ask you something" text. 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_nvmupd_get_aq_result (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct
i40e_nvm_access *cmd , u8 *bytes , int *perrno );

copy that exactly, no cap. the spacing is iconic and we're not touching it. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. it's giving "the actual physical thing we're talking to" energy.
• cmd — pointer to nvm update command buffer. this is the little envelope with the instructions in it 💌
• bytes — pointer to the data buffer. where the good stuff goes.
• perrno — pointer to return error code. so if things went sideways, this is where it tells on itself 😭

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

short and sweet, just how we like it: the cmd structure contains identifiers and data buffer. that's it, that's the description. main character energy, minimal words, maximum presence. 💅

ngl, this manpage is a little mysterious about the details — so I'm not gonna invent any. everything you need to know is that cmd carries the identifiers and the data buffer, fr fr.

🧚 friendly reminder: this page only tells you the args and that cmd holds identifiers + a data buffer. everything else? that's a different manpage's problem. iykyk.

and that's the whole vibe, bestie — this page came straight out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's absolutely gonna live rent-free in your head now. slay, read the related pages, hydrate, and remember: the results are always worth getting. 💜✨🎀
