ice_vc_get_ver_msg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_vc_get_ver_msg(9)

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, the kernel kernel, we're being fancy today 👑

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vc_get_ver_msg — and that's genuinely it 💀

fr fr, the description field on this one is empty. Like, not even a lil sentence. She said "I'm a function, look me up" and left. Iconic behaviour, zero notes. So the name is ice_vc_get_ver_msg and the rest is a mystery you must simply vibe with 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF info 👈 this is the virtual function we're talking about
  • msg — pointer to the msg buffer 📨 the actual message payload lives in here

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this one gets called from the VF to request the API version used by the PF ✨

That's the whole bit. The VF (that's the virtual function) is basically sliding into the PF's DMs like "hey bestie, which API version are you running?" and this function is the call that kicks that off. No cap, that's it — the description in the original is exactly one line and we're respecting her boundaries 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

First up, the kernel file where this lives, no gatekeeping:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/virtchnl.c

and then the entire friend group — I'm listing every single one of them because I'm not about to do any of these icons dirty 😤

lowkey that's a whole group chat and a half 😭 go read them, they're all linked for a reason bestie

and that's the whole page!! no notes, short and sweet, she ate 💅 the source line got cut off at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the terminal said "that's all you're getting" 🙈) and this was stamped October 2026 — so mark your calendars, see you in the ice_vc_get_ver_msg(9) cinematic universe 🍓✨💖
