ice_update_pkt_fwd_rule(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

ice_update_pkt_fwd_rule(9) — that’s the title, bestie, and it comes from the Kernel API Manual. The NAME line is literally just the function name plus a dash with no description after it, so we’re moving right along 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the signature, character for character, no edits, no vibes-based corrections:

int ice_update_pkt_fwd_rule (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_fltr_info
       *f_info );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. That’s the hardware-having situation.
• f_info — filter information for the switch rule. This is the switch-rule filter info, periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the whole job is: call an AQ command to update a switch rule that was previously created, and give it a VSI list ID. That’s the lore. That’s what it does. Slay ✨.
