i40e_parse_ieee_tlv(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 i40e_parse_ieee_tlv(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for i40e_parse_ieee_tlv(9) — yes the whole page is named after the function, that's just how these things roll ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_parse_ieee_tlv —

and babe, the dash is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here because the original literally gives no description after it. That's it. That's the name section. We love an enigmatic icon 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_parse_ieee_tlv (struct i40e_lldp_org_tlv *tlv , struct
i40e_dcbx_config *dcbcfg );

she takes two things and returns absolutely nothing (void, my beloved low-maintenance queen) 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • tlv — the IEEE 802.1Qaz TLV, aka the little packet of data that's about to get sorted 🌈
  • dcbcfg — the local store to update ETS REC data. this is where the good stuff lands, bestie 💾

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she actually does: she grabs the TLV subtype and then sends the TLV off to the right parsing function based on that subtype value. literally just "read the label, route the package" energy 📦✨ no cap.

it's giving switchboard operator, it's giving traffic director, it's giving main character with a clipboard 👑
