ice_tc_tun_get_type(9)

💅 ice_tc_tun_get_type(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_tc_tun_get_type, a little function from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's giving scout energy. her whole job is sniffing out the vibe of a device and reporting back. iconic. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_tc_tun_get_type — get the tunnel type 🌈

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_tc_tun_get_type (struct net_device *tunnel_dev );

like yes, that's the whole signature, it's a one-liner, we love a low-maintenance queen 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• tunnel_dev — ptr to tunnel device. literally just a pointer to the tunnel device, that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function detects the appropriate tunnel_type if the device you hand it is actually a tunnel device, like VXLAN / Geneve. so it looks at the device, goes "hm. is this a tunnel? and if so, which kind?", and figures out the right type. vibe check complete ✨

note the "if" bestie — the detecting-a-tunnel-type situation only applies when the specified device really is a tunnel device such as VXLAN/Geneve. don't come for her if you pass something else 💀
