i40e_vc_get_version_msg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 i40e_vc_get_version_msg(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the i40e_vc_get_version_msg page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual — yes that manual, the one with the driest prose on planet earth, but we're gonna make it cute anyway 🫶

It's a networking thing. Intel i40e thing. VF/PF thing. iykyk 💅

✨ NAME ✨

So the NAME section in the original is literally just:

i40e_vc_get_version_msg

that's it. That's the whole name section. No little dash explanation, no blurb, no lore. Just the function name sitting there like 👑 main character energy, zero caption needed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_vc_get_version_msg (struct i40e_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

look at her go 💅 returns an int, takes a struct i40e_vf * and a u8 *. we love a signature that gets straight to the point.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF info 💜 lowkey the star of the show, this is the VF's whole info struct
  • msg — pointer to the msg buffer ✨ the buffer where the message lives

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this one gets called from the VF to request the API version that the PF is using 🔥

that's it, that's the whole job. VF slides into the PF's messages like "hey bestie what API version are we on" and this function is the one handling that request. iconic, focused, no notes 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
