💅 ice_ctl_q_str(9) — bestie, it's a Kernel API Manual moment 💅

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally called ice_ctl_q_str(9), which is giving "tiny helper function that eats and leaves no crumbs" energy. no cap. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ctl_q_str — bestie's job is literally just: convert control queue type to string. that's it. that's the whole gig. and honestly? iconic. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * ice_ctl_q_str (enum ice_ctl_q qtype );

like, one argument, one return, zero drama. we love a low-maintenance king. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qtype — the control queue type, aka the little enum bb you're handing over so it can be turned into a string. that's the whole input, she's not asking for much. 💅

---

🦋 RETURN 🦋

A string name for the given control queue type. that's it!! a const char *, a name, a little textual slay. ✨ no weird exit codes, no NULL lore, no hidden plot twists — just the string name, periodt. 🌈

lowkey the cutest kind of function: you give it a queue type, it gives you a name, everybody goes home happy. 😭💜
