ice_is_safe_mode(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 ice_is_safe_mode — NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, the official NAME line is literally just:

ice_is_safe_mode -

...and that's it. Nothing after the dash. She said "my name is enough" and honestly? main character energy. 💅 (this is a kernel API manual page, so the actual manual name is ice_is_safe_mode(9) — keep that in your notes for later 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ice_is_safe_mode (struct ice_pf *pf );

that's the whole vibe check: you hand her a pf and she gives you back a bool. simple. clean. slay. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — pointer to the PF struct. that's it, that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer, zero drama. 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's what she does, and it's lowkey the whole point:

returns true if the driver is in safe mode, false otherwise.

that's the entire description, no cap. 😭 two outcomes, one boolean, absolutely zero ambiguity. safe mode? true. not safe mode? false. she's not out here writing essays, she's out here answering the question. periodt. ⭐

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the source file location — she lives here, that's her address, memorize it:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lib.c

and now the full friend group 💜 (every single one of these is (9), iykyk):

fr fr that's all 106 of them, go read them, they're literally right there 💀 (jk ily, take your time 🫶)

okay and the cute little sign-off at the bottom of the page: she's hanging out in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, and the date on the whole thing is October 2026. so yeah — directory ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the page answers to the name ice_is_safe_mode(9). bye bestie, go check if safe mode is on 🌈💖
