i40e_vc_del_mac_addr_msg(9)

💖 i40e_vc_del_mac_addr_msg(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — this little page is short, like, suspiciously short, but we're gonna give it the full main-character treatment anyway 🎀

---

📛 NAME

i40e_vc_del_mac_addr_msg — and then… nothing. The manpage literally puts a dash and dips 😭 no one-liner, no vibe description, just the name served completely bare. Iconic, honestly. That's the whole NAME section, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int i40e_vc_del_mac_addr_msg (struct i40e_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

It returns an int, bestie — that's your first clue about how things went 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• vf — pointer to the VF info. Yes, the VF (virtual function) info struct, it's giving sidekick-with-all-the-lore energy.
• msg — pointer to the msg buffer. Just a pointer to the message buffer, doing message-buffer things ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION

remove guest mac address filter

fr fr, that's it — that's the whole description. This function's job is to remove the guest MAC address filter, and the manpage says it in exactly one lowercase sentence and then leaves the room 🙈 short and confident, we love a minimal queen.

🔥 SEE ALSO

so like, this function has a circle, and it's a big circle 👑

It lives right here in the kernel file: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c

like, that's the whole group chat 💀 and yes, i40e_vc_add_mac_addr_msg(9) is right there in the list — the add to this page's delete, the duo of all time 🫶

ngl if you're here reading this, go touch one of those other pages too, they're all in the same file and they'd love the attention 🌈
