✨ ice_start_xmit(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so, bestie, welcome to the ice_start_xmit(9) manual page — this is the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_start_xmit, and it selects the correct VSI and Tx queue to send buffer. that's the whole name vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the signature is literally this, character for character:

netdev_tx_t ice_start_xmit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct net_device
       *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — send buffer. the send buffer, periodt. 🌸
• netdev — network interface device structure. the network interface device structure, obviously. 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns NETDEV_TX_OK if sent, else an error code. that's it, that's the whole description — short and iconic. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_txrx.c — that's home base for this whole situation. 🏠
