ice_aq_erase_nvm(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is the ice_aq_erase_nvm(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 and the name line is literally:

ice_aq_erase_nvm —

yes, the description after the dash is blank in the source, so we're not inventing one — the dash is just doing its little main-character pose 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_aq_erase_nvm (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 module_typeid , struct
       ice_sq_cd *cd );

it's giving "kernel function signature with a side of sparkle" ✨

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. yes bestie, the actual HW struct, keep up 🫶
• module_typeid — module pointer location in words from the NVM beginning. that's the whole coordinate vibe: in words, from the NVM beginning ⭐
• cd — pointer to command details structure or NULL. so either you hand it a command details structure or you hand it NULL, simple as that 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this function erases the NVM sector using the admin queue commands (0x0702) 🔥 that's it, that's the tea — NVM sector, admin queue, hex value, periodt.
