ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr(9)

💅 ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr(9) — the ice kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so listen. this page is ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it is so niche but honestly kind of iconic? it's one little function that does one little thing, and it ate. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr — so what it does is, it inserts a MAC addr into a memory buffer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_pkt_insert_mac_addr (u8 *pkt , u8 *addr );

like, look at her. two pointers, returns nothing, zero drama. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pkt — the packet buffer. that's the memory buffer the MAC addr is getting dropped into, bestie. it's giving "here's the canvas" 🖼️
• addr — the MAC address to convert and insert into pkt at offset. so it's not just getting shoved in there, it's getting converted first, at a specific offset, okay? ikyk 👑
