idpf_get_vec_ids(9)

💅 idpf_get_vec_ids(9) — okay bestie, gather round

So this is a Kernel API Manual page, and it's about the function idpf_get_vec_ids — which, no cap, initializes vector ids straight from the Mailbox parameters. Iconic little helper, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_get_vec_ids — initializes the vector id from Mailbox parameters. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int idpf_get_vec_ids (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , u16 *vecids , int num_vecids , struct virtchnl2_vector_chunks *chunks );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — the adapter structure, bestie. You pass it in so we can get the mailbox vector id. It's giving "main character of the struct world." 👑
  • vecids — the array of vector ids. All of them. Lined up. Slay. ✨
  • num_vecids — literally just the number of vector ids. Yes it's a count. Yes it's important. 💅
  • chunks — the vector ids that got received over the mailbox. The whole point of the operation, fr fr. 📬

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: idpf_get_vec_ids will initialize the mailbox vector id — the one that came in from the get capabilities — along with the data queue vector ids, using the ids that arrived as mailbox parameters. 🫶

And then? It returns the number of ids filled. That's it. That's the whole function. Lowkey elegant, highkey essential. 🌈

ngl, this one does exactly what it says and nothing extra — no hidden chaos, no surprise side quests. We stan a predictable return value. 💀

Okay so this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral with cross-references. Here's the whole squad, no one left behind:

Like I said. The whole squad. 😭🫶
