ice_vc_get_tpid(9)

💅 ice_vc_get_tpid — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_vc_get_tpid(9), a tiny function with a very specific glow-up job. Sit down, hydrate, let's get into it. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vc_get_tpid — the lil glow-up translator that transforms from VIRTCHNL_VLAN_ETHERTYPE_* to VLAN TPID 💫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vc_get_tpid (u32 ethertype_setting , u16 *tpid );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ethertype_setting — the VIRTCHNL_VLAN_ETHERTYPE_* value you're feeding in to get your VLAN TPID. She's the input, she's the moment. ✨
• tpid — a pointer to the VLAN TPID that gets populated. Basically the empty cup and this function is pouring the info in. 💖

like, that's the whole friend group right there. no cap. 👑

ngl bestie, that's the whole page — she's short, she's sweet, she converts an ethertype setting into a TPID and minds her own business. 💅

and that's a wrap, babes! 🌈 this lil page came from the kernel source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (truncated by whoever printed it, not me 🙈), dated October 2026, and yeah — ice_vc_get_tpid(9) says hi. mwah 💋🎀
