ice_parse_dev_caps(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, this is ice_parse_dev_caps(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the whole page is literally about parsing device capabilities. That's the title, that's the manual name, we're locked in. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the signature, copied exactly so nobody comes for me:

void ice_parse_dev_caps (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_hw_dev_caps
       *dev_p , void *buf , u32 cap_count );

It's giving function-call realness. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct
  • dev_p — pointer to device capabilities structure
  • buf — buffer containing the device capability records
  • cap_count — the number of capabilities

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's a helper device for parsing the device (0x000B) capabilities list. For capabilities shared between device and function, this relies on ice_parse_common_caps.

The move is: loop through the list of provided capabilities and extract the relevant data into the device capabilities structured. Yes, structured — that's the original wording, I'm not fixing it, we keep the facts. 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file first, then the entire ice extended universe. Every reference is here, no cap:

Cute sign-off: source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, date is October 2026, and the manual is ice_parse_dev_caps(9) from the Kernel API Manual. Bye bestie, go parse those caps 🫶💖
