ice_pkt_insert_u16(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is ice_pkt_insert_u16(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it does exactly one iconic little job: insert a be16 value into a memory buffer. lowkey tiny function, highkey useful 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_pkt_insert_u16 (u8 *pkt , int offset , __be16 data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pkt — the packet buffer, bestie. this is the memory you’re writing into 🫶
• offset — the offset into that buffer, aka where the little 16-bit moment is gonna land ✨
• data — the 16 bit value that gets converted and inserted into pkt at offset. yes, converted and inserted, that’s the whole vibe 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
