💖 ice_is_eswitch_mode_switchdev 💖

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's giving tiny-little-helper-function energy 🧚 — like, one job, does it cute, no notes. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_is_eswitch_mode_switchdev — checks whether the eswitch mode is set to switchdev 🎀

like literally that's it, that's the whole personality. a vibe check for your eswitch 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ice_is_eswitch_mode_switchdev (struct ice_pf *pf );

one function, one argument, returns a bool. short and iconic fr fr 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — pointer to the PF structure 🫶 (yes bestie, that's the whole description, it's a pointer, it points, we love a low-effort king)

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so here's the tea ☕: this function returns true if the eswitch mode is set to DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV, and false otherwise.

that's the whole thing. no cap. two outcomes, one boolean, zero drama 🌈

lowkey the most honest manpage description ever written — "it returns true if it's true, false if it's not" 😭 and honestly? respect.
