๐Ÿ’– NAME ๐Ÿ’–

ice_pkg_buf_alloc(9) from the Kernel API Manual โ€” hi bestie, welcome to the functionโ€™s page ๐Ÿซถ. The original NAME section is just the function name, a dash, and thenโ€ฆ nothing else. No one-line description, no cap. So thereโ€™s no summary to give here, and thatโ€™s the vibe.

โœจ SYNOPSIS โœจ

struct ice_buf_build * ice_pkg_buf_alloc (struct ice_hw *hw );

๐Ÿซถ ARGUMENTS ๐Ÿซถ

  • hw โ€” pointer to the HW structure. Thatโ€™s it, thatโ€™s the argument ๐Ÿ’….

๐ŸŒธ DESCRIPTION ๐ŸŒธ

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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ. The original doesnโ€™t add extra detail, so Iโ€™m not gonna invent any.

๐Ÿ’… NOTE ๐Ÿ’…

๐Ÿšจ Bestie, important: all package contents must be in Little Endian form. Thatโ€™s the note, fr fr.
