ice_is_sbq_supported(9)

💅 ice_is_sbq_supported(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ and honestly? this one is short and sweet and I'm kinda obsessed. it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" energy ngl 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_is_sbq_supported — literally just asking: is the sideband queue supported or not?? 🤔

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ice_is_sbq_supported (struct ice_hw *hw );

no cap, that's the whole vibe check right there — one argument, one bool coming back at you 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 💻 like, the actual hardware vibes get passed in here, bestie

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it do, you ask? okay so — it returns true if the sideband control queue interface is supported for the device, and false otherwise. that's it. that's the whole tea ☕✨

like, it's the main character of "can we do the sideband thing or not" and honestly I respect the confidence 💅

ngl this is the kind of function that answers one question and then dips. iconic behavior fr fr 👑
