💖 ice_add_mac(9) 💖 — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the main character is literally ice_add_mac(9). It's giving "add a MAC address based filter rule" realness, and we are keeping every single detail. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_add_mac — Add a MAC address based filter rule. that's the name, that's the vibe, periodt. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the signature, character-for-character, no edits, no vibes-based rewriting:

int ice_add_mac (struct ice_hw *hw , struct list_head *m_list );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two arguments, both load-bearing, no skipping:

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. yes bestie, it's the hardware-struct-pointer moment. 🔥
• m_list — list of MAC addresses and forwarding information. the list carrying MAC addresses plus forwarding info. 💌
