ice_metainit_parse_item(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is ice_metainit_parse_item(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the function that parses 192 bits of Metadata Init entry. that's the whole vibe, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_metainit_parse_item (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 idx , void *item ,
       void *data , int size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. your hardware bestie, the main character of this whole situation 💅
• idx — index of Metadata Init entry. the exact entry index, periodt.
• item — item of Metadata Init entry. yes, it's the item, and we respect it.
• data — Metadata Init entry data to be parsed. the data getting parsed, obviously 🫶
• size — size of Metadata Init entry. size of the entry, keep up bestie.
