iavf_get_vpe_link_status(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of iavf_get_vpe_link_status, a real function living its best life in the Kernel API Manual. this is a section 9 page (iykyk, kernel dev docs), and it is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for how little it says. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

  • iavf_get_vpe_link_status — so the NAME field in the original is literally blank after the dash 💀 no description, no nothing, just the name and vibes. we respect the mystery.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the exact signature, bestie, copy it character for character or the compiler will be so mad at you:

bool iavf_get_vpe_link_status (struct iavf_adapter *adapter , struct
virtchnl_pf_event *vpe );

it returns a bool, that's the whole vibe check result right there ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the adapter structure 🦋 like, the whole adapter, that's what you're handing over.
  • vpe — the virtchnl_pf_event structure. yes it's abbreviated to vpe, yes that's the actual name, no we don't make the rules 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

it's a helper function for determining the link status. that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, main character energy 🎀

so like — it's a helper. it helps. it determines the link status. no cap, no extra lore given in this page, and we are not gonna invent any 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the home base — this function lives in:

and now the full friend group, all 60 of them, because we do not skip anyone in this house 💜:

ngl bestie, that's a lot of cross-references. this function may be tiny but it is so well-connected. networking queen behavior 💅

and that's the whole page! 🦋 okay so the sign-off: this one came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, dated October 2026, and it's page iavf_get_vpe_link_status(9) — that's a wrap, bestie, go determine some link status ✨💖🎀
