ice_vc_get_vf_res_msg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_vc_get_vf_res_msg — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ice_vc_get_vf_res_msg(9) page. yes that's the whole title. it's in the Kernel API Manual because of course it is. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vc_get_vf_res_msg

and honestly? the original manpage leaves the description blank here. nothing. crickets. so the name is literally the whole personality. it's giving mysterious main character energy and we respect it 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

so it takes two things and hands you back an int. that's the vibe check. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vf — a pointer to the VF info. yes, pointer. it wants the actual struct, not a copy, not a vibe, the real address 💅
  • msg — a pointer to the msg buffer. also a pointer. also very important. don't lose it 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

this one's a tiny legend, ngl. it's called from the VF when the VF wants to request its resources. that's it. that's the whole job. small function, huge responsibility, iconic behavior fr fr 🔥

like… the VF literally knocks on the door and this is the function that answers. no cap. 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is long long. like, scroll-for-a-while long. but every single one of these is a real one, so here they all are, in order, untouched, because I would never do my besties dirty like that 💖

the source file lives right here:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/virtchnl.c

and now the squad:

periodt. that's the list. not one skipped, not one merged, not one invented 🫶✨

lowkey a note for you: the ethernet intel ice virtchnl file is the place to be if you wanna read the actual source. the manpage just points, it doesn't gossip 💅

and that's the page, bestie!! 🌈 this little slice of the Kernel API Manual comes courtesy of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes the path gets chopped off in the footer, that's not me being lazy, that's literally what it says 😭), dated October 2026, and it signs off as ice_vc_get_vf_res_msg(9) because it's that kind of self-confident icon. mwah 💋💖🍓
