ice_init_dcb(9)

💅 ice_init_dcb — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_init_dcb(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. This is the glow-up of a driver-level function and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_init_dcb — like... that's the whole name, babes. It's a function, it does a thing, the manpage is not about to overshare. No cap, the NAME section is literally just the name and a vibe 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_init_dcb (struct ice_hw *hw , bool enable_mib_change );

so it returns an int (iconic), takes a pointer to a struct ice_hw (that's the hw), and a bool called enable_mib_change. Three things. That's the whole signature. Slay ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW struct 💖 it's the hardware, she's holding everything together, main character energy fr fr.
• enable_mib_change — enable MIB change event. That's it, that's the whole description, and honestly? We respect the brevity. Lowkey efficient. 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Update DCB configuration from the Firmware.

that's the entire description. Not me expecting a whole saga 😭 The function reaches out to the Firmware and pulls in the updated DCB configuration — that's the whole assignment, and she ate. Periodt. 👑

ngl the manpage keeps it very short here, so we're not gonna invent extra lore that isn't in the source. Facts only, always. 💅

mwah, that's the page 💋 this little cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it's page ice_init_dcb(9) of the Kernel API Manual. go read the source, drink some water, and stan a driver function today 🎀✨🌸
