ice_fdir_comp_rules(9)

✨ ice_fdir_comp_rules ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ice_fdir_comp_rules(9) page 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a shortie but a goodie. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ice_fdir_comp_rules (struct ice_fdir_fltr *a , struct ice_fdir_fltr *b );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two pointers and a bool coming back at you 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• a — a Flow Director filter data structure 👑 like, one half of the couple we're checking on
• b — a Flow Director filter data structure 🫶 the other half, obviously

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns true if the filters match ✨

literally that's the whole thing. you hand it two Flow Director filter data structures, it does the vibe check, and it tells you true if they match. the way that this function is just two arguments and a boolean and zero drama? obsessed 😭

no side quests, no hidden tricks — just a straight-up comparison and a yes-or-no answer, periodt 🔥
