ice_set_bw_limit(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_set_bw_limit(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so first thing, the manual name is ice_set_bw_limit(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "one little function doing one little job" and I respect it so much for that ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_set_bw_limit — like, it sets up the BW limit for Tx traffic based on max_tx_rate. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_set_bw_limit (struct ice_vsi *vsi , u64 max_tx_rate , u64
min_tx_rate );

look at her. three args. clean. iconic. 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • vsi — the VSI you're configuring, aka the thing getting the glow-up. it's a struct ice_vsi *, she's a pointer, she's main character energy. 💅
  • max_tx_rate — the max Tx rate in Kbps, and this one gets configured as the maximum BW limit. the ceiling. the "you shall not pass" of bandwidth. 🔥
  • min_tx_rate — the min Tx rate in Kbps, configured as the minimum BW limit. the floor. the safety net. the "bestie you're not allowed to go lower than this" 🫶
ngl all three matter, don't skip any of them, the function literally cannot function without them 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie. sit down. hydrate. this list is LONG and I'm not skipping a single one of them, because every single reference is a real one and I would never do them dirty like that. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! you ate that reading stamina up fr fr 🌈
