ice_aq_set_txtimeq(9)

💅 ice_aq_set_txtimeq(9) — the Kernel API Manual entry, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> entry for ice_aq_set_txtimeq, section 9of the man pages. This one's a little firmware-handshake moment for theice` driver and it's honestly shorter than the SEE ALSO list (way shorter, like, dramatically shorter). Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_aq_set_txtimeq — set Tx time queues

No cap, that's the whole pitch. It sets Tx time queues. Iconic, brief, to the point. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_aq_set_txtimeq (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 txtimeq , u8 q_count ,
       struct ice_aqc_set_txtime_qgrp *txtime_qg , u16 buf_size , struct
       ice_sq_cd *cd );

Bestie look at that signature. Six arguments, one int coming back at you. She's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Every single one of these matters, so let's do a lil vibe check on each:

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. Your main character. Everything else is basically orbiting hw. 👑
• txtimeq — first Tx time queue id to configure. u16. This is the starting queue id, like where the party begins. 🎉
• q_count — number of queues to configure. u8. So txtimeq is where you start and q_count is how many you're grabbing. Math. Slay.
• txtime_qg — queue group to be set. Type is struct ice_aqc_set_txtime_qgrp *, so yes it's a pointer to that struct, and yes you need to actually have one. 🧚
• buf_size — size of buffer for indirect command. u16. It's an indirect command, which is the fancy way of saying "the data lives somewhere else and this says how big it is." 💖
• cd — pointer to command details structure or NULL. struct ice_sq_cd *. You can pass NULL. That's literally allowed, not me being chaotic, it's in the docs. 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Set Tx Time queue (0x0C35).

That's it. That's the description. The opcode 0x0C35 is the whole vibe. Lowkey obsessed with how the manpage just drops the opcode and leaves. 💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success or negative value on failure.

So: 0 = we ate, we slayed, everything's fine. Negative = something went sideways. Check it, bestie, don't just assume. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Grab a snack because this list is long long. It's giving "everyone in the ice driver is here and they all brought a plus-one." 🎀
