ice_devlink_local_fwd_get(9)

💜 ice_devlink_local_fwd_get(9) 💜

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a tiny little function called ice_devlink_local_fwd_get, and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "I do exactly one thing and I do it flawlessly" energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_devlink_local_fwd_get — get the local_fwd parameter 💅

no cap, that's it, that's the whole job. she gets. she doesn't set, she doesn't validate, she just... gets 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_devlink_local_fwd_get (struct devlink *devlink , u32 id , struct
       devlink_param_gset_ctx *ctx , struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

look at that signature, iconic 😭 four arguments, returns an int, and yes we'll go through every single one of them because we don't skip over things in this house 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• devlink — pointer to the devlink instance 💖 literally the whole context of the operation, your main character, the one who holds it all together
• id — the parameter ID to set 🌸 (yes the doc says "to set", we're not gonna argue with the kernel docs, we're just gonna relay the message fr fr)
• ctx — the context where the parameter value gets stored 🎀 this is where the good stuff lands
• extack — the netlink extended ACK structure 🧚 that's your lil feedback channel, iykyk

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Zero. 🎯

that's right, she returns zero. nothing else. no drama, no surprises, no "well actually it depends". zero. periodt 💅
