ice_set_pf_caps(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_set_pf_caps(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's called ice_set_pf_caps(9), and it is lowkey the whole personality of the Intel ice driver's main file. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_set_pf_caps — the function that sets the PF's capability flags. yes bestie, it's giving "give this PF its whole set of abilities." main character energy for a capability setter, honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_set_pf_caps (struct ice_pf *pf );

that's it. that's the whole signature. returns void, so no "did it work" drama, it just does the thing and moves on. periodt 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — a pointer to the PF instance. literally just a pointer to the PF we're working with, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this next part is a moment. the original page points you at a kernel file, and then it drops what is genuinely one of the longest cross-reference lists I have ever seen — like a group chat that kept adding members until it hit the cap. all of them are (9) section refs unless noted, so iykyk.

the file, first of all:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c — go read it, it's where the magic happens 💖

and now the friend group 🫶 (in exactly the order the page listed them):

like I said. a lot. no skips, no edits, all of them are there 🧚

ngl there are no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses and no bugs listed on this page — it's a tiny page with a giant social circle, and that's the whole menu. don't go looking for flags that aren't there, bestie, I promise they're not hiding 🙈

and that's the page!! written under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — so like, futuristic but make it kernel 💜 bye bestie, go set some caps 🎀✨
