ice_plug_aux_dev(9)

💅 ice_plug_aux_dev — bestie, let's talk about this one

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the ice_plug_aux_dev(9) manual, iykyk) and it's honestly short but she matters. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_plug_aux_dev — allocate and register an AUX device. that's it. that's the whole job. she allocates, she registers, she slays 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_plug_aux_dev (struct ice_pf *pf );

literally one argument, no drama, no optional extras. iconic minimalism ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pf — pointer to the pf struct. yes bestie, just a pointer, that's the whole vibe check. hand her a pf and she's good to go 🦋

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• Zero on success 🎉
• an error code on failure 😭

so like, check the return value, okay? don't just call her and walk away, that's not the move 🙈

and that's the page!! 🎀 she's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and she's out here doing ice_plug_aux_dev(9) things. go forth, read the real manpage, and stan a kernel API for me 💜✨
