ice_pkg_buf_alloc(9)
๐ NAME ๐
ice_pkg_buf_alloc(9) from the Kernel API Manual โ hi bestie, welcome to the functionโs page ๐ซถ. The original NAME section is just the function name, a dash, and thenโฆ nothing else. No one-line description, no cap. So thereโs no summary to give here, and thatโs the vibe.
โจ SYNOPSIS โจ
struct ice_buf_build * ice_pkg_buf_alloc (struct ice_hw *hw );
๐ซถ ARGUMENTS ๐ซถ
hwโ pointer to the HW structure. Thatโs it, thatโs the argument ๐ .
๐ธ DESCRIPTION ๐ธ
Okay so this one is simple: it allocates a package buffer and returns a pointer to the buffer header. Clean, iconic, does exactly what it says ๐ฅ. The original doesnโt add extra detail, so Iโm not gonna invent any.
๐ NOTE ๐
๐จ Bestie, important: all package contents must be in Little Endian form. Thatโs the note, fr fr.
