💅 ice_imem_npkb_init(9) — or, how to read 18 lil bits of Next Protocol Key Build

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 this one's a tiny little function but she's part of a whole iconic parser family, so let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_imem_npkb_init — parses 18 bits of Next Protocol Key Build. that's it. that's the whole job. eighteen bits. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_imem_npkb_init (struct ice_np_keybuilder *kb , u32 data );

literally two things in, nothing out — she returns void, she's humble like that 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • kb — pointer to the Next Protocol Key Build structure 🦋 like, this is where the parsed stuff goes, she's the destination, the main character of this function ngl
  • data — the Next Protocol Key Build data to be parsed ✨ this is the raw material, the 18 bits in question, the vibe check input
no cap: kb is a pointer to the Next Protocol Key Build structure and data is the Next Protocol Key Build data to be parsed. those are the exact roles, don't mix them up 🙈
