i40e_pf_get_main_veb(9)

✨ i40e_pf_get_main_veb(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for i40e_pf_get_main_veb — yes that's a whole mouthful, iykyk, it's the Intel i40e networking driver girlies' little helper and honestly it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_pf_get_main_veb — literally just: get a pointer to the main VEB 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct i40e_veb * i40e_pf_get_main_veb (struct i40e_pf *pf );

that's the whole vibe. one arg, one pointer back. no cap. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• pf — pointer to a PF 🫶 (yes, that's the whole description, she's lowkey mysterious like that)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns a pointer to the main VEB — or NULL if it does not exist 😭 (so like, always vibe check the result before you dereference it, fr fr)

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

like, the entire i40e squad showed up to the function call, we love a supportive cast 💜

ngl there's not a ton to warn you about here, but lowkey remember the whole function returns NULL sometimes, so don't be out here dereferencing without checking. that's the only drama on this page 🙈

later bestie, mwah 💋 this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under i40e_pf_get_main_veb(9) — slay, periodt, go read the rest of the kernel docs 🌈⭐🔥
