iavf_get_strings(9)

💅 iavf_get_strings — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so we're in the iavf_get_strings(9) page, which lowkey lives in the Kernel API Manual. Buckle up 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_get_strings — the one that gets you the string set, no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void iavf_get_strings (struct net_device *netdev , u32 sset , u8 *data );

Like, that's the whole vibe. Void return, three args, she's an icon 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the main character of this whole function 🫶
• sset — the id of the string set. Which set? This set, bestie 💅
• data — the buffer where the string data goes. Bring your own buffer, we're just filling it 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does she actually do? She builds string tables for various string sets ✨ That's it, that's the function. Multiple sets, tables built, slay 💅
