i40e_vc_ether_addr_type(9)

💖 i40e_vc_ether_addr_type(9) — get type of virtchnl_ether_addr 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the i40e_vc_ether_addr_type(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, and yes, we're literally here to get the type out of a virtchnl_ether_addr. It's giving tiny kernel helper with main-character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_vc_ether_addr_type — get type of virtchnl_ether_addr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u8 i40e_vc_ether_addr_type (struct virtchnl_ether_addr *vc_ether_addr );

That's the whole vibe check: it returns a u8 and takes a struct virtchnl_ether_addr * named vc_ether_addr. No extra drama. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vc_ether_addr — used to extract the type. bestie, you pass this pointer in, and the type gets extracted from it. periodt.

Footer vibe check, bestie: source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the date on this page is October 2026. Bye bestie, go extract that type 💅🫶
