ice_dwnld_sign_and_cfg_segs(9)

💖 ice_dwnld_sign_and_cfg_segs(9) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_dwnld_sign_and_cfg_segs(9) — yes that's the full title, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic as-is 🎀

This one's all about downloading a signing segment and a config segment. Two-for-one deal, we love a bundle ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ice_ddp_state ice_dwnld_sign_and_cfg_segs (struct ice_ddp_send_ctx
*ctx , struct ice_pkg_hdr *pkg_hdr , u32 idx );

literally the whole signature up there, no cap. it returns an enum ice_ddp_state and takes three things, which we're getting into right now 👇

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctx — the context of the current buffers section to send. like, the vibe of the section you're shipping out 📦
• pkg_hdr — pointer to the package header. the header. of the package. you got this 🫶
• idx — the segment index, and heads up: it must be a signature segment. not optional, not a suggestion, this is the rule bestie 💅

---

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

idx must reference a signature segment.

that's it, that's the note, but it's a big deal so we're repeating it. signature segment only. if you pass something that isn't one, that's a you problem, not mine 🙈
