ice_vc_get_stats_msg(9)

💅 ice_vc_get_stats_msg(9) — the group chat edition 🎀

Okay bestie, buckle up, we're reading the Kernel API Manual page for ice_vc_get_stats_msg — yes that's the manual name, it's a whole (9) situation, kernel-internals vibes only, iykyk ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_get_stats_msg — and the manpage just... leaves the description blank 😭 literally nothing after the dash. Not me side-eyeing the doc generator fr fr. Anyway, the name is the name, periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_vc_get_stats_msg (struct ice_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

That's the whole signature, no cap. int goes in, int comes out, two args in the middle 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• vf — pointer to the VF info 💖 (the virtual function's whole little profile, basically)
• msg — pointer to the msg buffer 🌈 (the actual message payload living in memory)

Both are pointers, both matter, don't lose either one 🧚

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So ice_vc_get_stats_msg is called from the VF to get VSI stats — that's the entire description, and honestly? Iconic brevity. The virtual function hits up this function when it wants the VSI statistics, and that's the tea ☕ The docs are giving minimalist main character energy and I respect it 🎀

Heads up: the original page says literally nothing more than that, so I'm not gonna invent extra lore for you — I refuse to make up technical claims, that's not the vibe 🌸

And that's the whole page, bestie! 💖 Cute little sign-off time: this came from source/version ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the original footer truncates it with a ..., so that's exactly what we're giving you, no edits 🙈) and it's dated October 2026, under the title ice_vc_get_stats_msg(9). Slay, go read your stats, you've earned it 🫶🎀🌟
