💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_is_mc_lldp_eth_addr(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the little function that checks if the given MAC is a multicast LLDP address. it’s giving tiny-but-iconic, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ice_is_mc_lldp_eth_addr (const u8 *mac );

that’s the whole vibe. no cap.
