💅 i40e_shutdown_adminq(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

Okay bestie, so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about exactly one thing: shutting down the Admin Queue. That's it. That's the whole vibe. No cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_shutdown_adminq — the shutdown routine for the Admin Queue, literally what it says on the tin 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i40e_shutdown_adminq (struct i40e_hw *hw );

Notice the return type: void. It gives you nothing back. It's giving silent, unbothered, main-character energy — it does its job and does not report on it 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. That's the one thing you hand it. Just the pointer to the hardware struct, that's the whole ask 🔥

Right, this is the part where we tag everyone in the group chat, because the Admin Queue function family is large and they all know each other:

Heads up bestie: this page gives you the what and the who, not the gory return values — there are none listed, and the function returns void. Don't invent expectations, just enjoy the vibes 💀
