iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype — the Kernel API Manual glow-up (section 9, bestie) 🎀

Okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel, section 9 of the manual, and there's this tiny little function called iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype that is literally a translator. That's it. That's her whole job. She takes a VLAN TPID and turns it into a virtchnl ethertype, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype — transform from VLAN TPID to virtchnl ethertype 🦋

Like, she's the bridge between two worlds and she does it flawlessly. Main character energy fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype (u16 tpid );

Look at her. One argument. Returns a u32. Clean, minimal, iconic. 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • tpid — the VLAN TPID, i.e. 0x8100, 0x88a8, etc. 👑

That's the vibe check right there: you hand her a TPID, she knows what to do with it.

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

Bestie, she does not ride alone — she runs with a whole squad. Here's the entire crew, and yes, we're listing every single one because nobody gets left behind 💖:

Oh and the source file herself, obviously:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_virtchnl.c 📁
Ngl, that SEE ALSO list is giving "squad goals." Fifty-nine friends and not one of them flaky. 🔥

And that's the whole page, bestie — sourced straight from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, dated October 2026, and filed under iavf_tpid_to_vc_ethertype(9) in the Kernel API Manual. Slay. Bye. 💜
