💖 ice_fdir_get_prgm_desc(9) 💖

ok so bestie, we're deep in the kernel API manual (section 9, iykyk) and today's main character is ice_fdir_get_prgm_desc — the little function that sets a fdir descriptor from a fdir filter struct. that's it, that's the job. she's a setter baddie and she ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_fdir_get_prgm_desc — set a fdir descriptor from a fdir filter struct

no cap, that's literally the whole vibe. you hand her a filter struct, she hands you back a descriptor. iconic behavior. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_fdir_get_prgm_desc (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_fdir_fltr
*input , struct ice_fltr_desc *fdesc , bool add );

she returns void (no receipts, she doesn't send one back) and takes four things. let's meet them 👇

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure 💻 lowkey the whole personality of the machine lives in here
  • input — the filter 🌸 this is the vibe you're working from
  • fdesc — the filter descriptor 🎯 this is where the result ends up
  • add — if add is true, this is an add operation; false implies delete 🔥 so like, are we adding or are we deleting? the bool decides, periodt
bestie pls respect the difference — true = add, false = delete. there's no "maybe" here, it's a bool, not a situationship 🙈
