ice_get_vf_cfg(9)

💅 ice_get_vf_cfg — kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so we're in ice_get_vf_cfg(9) territory, and honestly? this one's a little cutie. short page, big job. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_get_vf_cfg -

so like… the manpage literally gives us the dash and then nothing. no blurb, no subtitle, just vibes and a hyphen. iconic honestly. the name is ice_get_vf_cfg and the description slot is empty — that's canon, I'm not making it up 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_get_vf_cfg (struct net_device *netdev , int vf_id , struct
ifla_vf_info *ivi );

returns an int, takes three things, that's the whole football team. copy it exactly, no cap ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole interface's main character energy. this is the device we're talking about 🦋
• vf_id — the VF identifier. which virtual function are we looking at? this number right here, bestie 🔢
• ivi — the VF configuration structure, type struct ifla_vf_info *. this is the little container that the config comes back in. she's giving output-parameter 🎁

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the whole job description is: return VF configuration. that's it. that's the sentence. ice_get_vf_cfg returns the VF configuration 🙈✨

short and sweet — she's not doing a whole monologue, she just hands you the config and goes. respect 💅
