ice_register_netdev(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ice_register_netdev — the one where we register the netdev, bestie. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

this little icon lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a whole moment 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_register_netdev (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

like, look at her. one function, one arg, zero drama 🌸

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vsi — pointer to the VSI struct 🫶 that's the whole thing. she points, you pass her in, we move on. no cap.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this is the part where the manpage just absolutely dumps the entire friend group on you 😭 and i mean everyone. genuinely iconic of her. here's the whole group chat, no cap, in order:

like i said. everyone. bring snacks, it's a long read 😭🍓

and that's the tea, bestie 🧚 this absolute gem comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and she answers to the name ice_register_netdev(9). mwah, stan her, bye 💜✨🦋
