💅 i40e_parse_discover_capabilities — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay so real talk: this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's one of those tiny-but-load-bearing little functions, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_parse_discover_capabilities — and yeah, the name is just... the name. No little tagline after the dash, no "does the thing" summary. She said "my name is enough" and honestly? iconic. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_parse_discover_capabilities (struct i40e_hw *hw , void *buff ,
u32 cap_count , enum i40e_admin_queue_opc list_type_opc );

four params, returns nothing (void), that's the whole vibe check 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. your main character struct, fr 💜
  • buff — pointer to a buffer containing device/function capability records. it's giving "the receipts" 🧾
  • cap_count — number of capability records in the list. yes bestie, someone has to count them 🌸
  • list_type_opc — type of capabilities list to parse. it's an enum i40e_admin_queue_opc, so like... which flavor of list we're dealing with 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie. it parses the device/function capabilities list. that's literally it, that's the whole description, and it ate. no cap, nothing else to add 😭✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

lowkey the longest guest list ever, but every single one of these is invited to the party 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c — that's the source file right there, iykyk 📁

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes 💅

mwah 💋 this one comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's still signing off as i40e_parse_d...capabilities(9) because the title truncation is a whole personality at this point 😭🎀
