ice_get_lin...ult_override(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_get_lin...ult_override(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the little slice of the kernel docs called ice_get_lin...ult_override(9) — yes the title is literally truncated with ... in the middle, that's not me being lazy, that's how it's printed (the full function name is ice_get_link_default_override, and no, the man page doesn't hyphenate it prettily, it just gives up mid-word 😭). It lives in the Kernel API Manual, it's a section 9 page, and it's about the Intel ice driver. Let's get into it 🧊

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_link_default_override — and that's it. The description after the dash is empty, like the man page author said "the name says it all" and clocked out 🎀 (we still love them, no notes).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_get_link_default_override (struct ice_link_default_override_tlv
*ldo , struct ice_port_info *pi );

It returns an int, and it takes two pointers. That's the whole vibe check 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ldo — pointer to the link default override struct 💖 (the struct ice_link_default_override_tlv, that's the one)
  • pi — pointer to the port info struct 🌸 (a struct ice_port_info, of course)

Two pointers in, one int out. Iconic, low-effort, does the job. Periodt.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Gets the link default override for a port. That's literally the whole description — no extra lore, no caveats, no extended director's cut 😌 The way this function just… gets the thing and tells you nothing else is honestly main character energy.

ngl bestie, that's the entire description in the original page. I'm not holding out on you — there is genuinely nothing more written here. Don't come for me 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Okay this is where things get unhinged — the SEE ALSO list is huge, it's giving "she brought her whole group chat to the party". Every single one of these is a real reference from the page, in order, no cap:

like… that's the whole extended universe 🫶 the file reference up top points at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c, so if you wanna read the source it's right there.

🦋 one last thing 🦋

This page comes from the source tree ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026 💖 so if future-you is reading this six months after the ice driver got rewritten again… yeah, check the date bestie, iykyk 😭💀

stay hydrated, read your man pages, and remember: two pointers in, one int out 🌈✨💅
