ice_devlink..._mode_to_str(9)

💅 ice_devlink_local_fwd_mode_to_str — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is ice_devlink_local_fwd_mode_to_str(9). yes the page header got a little chopped (ice_devlink..._mode_to_str(9) — she's shy), but the real name is right there in the NAME section. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_devlink_local_fwd_mode_to_str — grab yourself a string for the local_fwd mode. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic honestly 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * ice_devlink_local_fwd_mode_to_str (enum ice_local_fwd_mode mode );

it returns a const char * and takes exactly one thing. lowkey minimal queen behavior 👑

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• mode — the local forwarding mode, the one used in the port_info struct. that's the whole vibe check she needs from you 😌

---

💖 RETURN 💖

she gives you back the mode's respective string. and if the mode isn't a real one? you get "Invalid". fr fr, that's the fallback, no cap 💀

okay and for the cute sign-off: this whole thing lives over in the kernel source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes, truncated, she's mysterious like that 😭), version-dated October 2026, and the footer goes by ice_devlink..._mode_to_str(9). mwah, go read the neighbors, bye bestie 💅✨
