i40e_nvmupd_nvm_read(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the i40e_nvmupd_nvm_read page — it's a Kernel API Manual entry, and it does exactly what it says on the tin: Read NVM. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_nvmupd_nvm_read (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct i40e_nvm_access
*cmd , u8 *bytes , int *perrno );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. like, the actual hardware. the main character. 👑
  • cmd — pointer to the nvm update command buffer. it's giving "instructions live here". 💅
  • bytes — pointer to the data buffer. this is where the data goes, no cap. 🍓
  • perrno — pointer to return error code. if something goes wrong, this is the one who tells you. 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

literally just this: the cmd structure contains identifiers and data buffer. that's the whole description, i'm not even joking — it ate and left no crumbs. ✨
