idpf_init_mac_addr(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, we are in the Kernel API Manual and this page is idpf_init_mac_addr(9). the whole NAME moment is: idpf_init_mac_addr — initialize mac address for vport. that’s it, that’s the tweet 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the exact signature, copied with love and zero typos:

int idpf_init_mac_addr (struct idpf_vport *vport , struct net_device
       *netdev );

it returns an int, and it takes struct idpf_vport *vport plus struct net_device *netdev. no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vport — the main vport structure. main character structure energy, honestly 👑
• netdev — pointer to the netdev struct associated with this vport. it’s giving “this vport’s network device bestie” 🫶
