ice_set_fd_desc_val(9)

🧊 ice_set_fd_desc_val(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual manual, section 9, and the star of the show is a little function called ice_set_fd_desc_val. That's the whole name. That's it. The NAME section literally just sits there with a lil dash and then nothing, and honestly? iconic. mysterious. she said "my name is enough." 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_set_fd_desc_val (struct ice_fd_fltr_desc_ctx *ctx , struct
       ice_fltr_desc *fdir_desc );

so she takes two pointers, returns void, and does her thing. no drama, no return value, no notes. very main character energy, ngl. 🦋

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ctx — pointer to fd filter descriptor context 💖 like, this is the input vibes, the context struct she reads from.
• fdir_desc — this one gets populated with fd filter descriptor values. she's the output bestie, she gets filled in. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is LONG, so strap in, we're going on a journey 🌈 — first up, the source file she lives in:

heads up bestie: this is a kernel-internal API page, so it's all C, all pointers, and all structs — no shell commands to run here, no cap. 😭

mwah 💜 that's the page!! this lil slice of the manual lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, the source/version tag says October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under ice_set_fd_desc_val(9). slay, go read some driver code, iykyk ✨🍓
