idpf_parse_protocol_ids(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 okay so, bestie, welcome to idpf_parse_protocol_ids(9)

This is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlie ✨), and it's about exactly one tiny little function that does exactly one tiny little job. No cap. Let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_parse_protocol_ids — parse protocol IDs for a given packet type 🎀

That's it. That's the whole elevator pitch. It looks at a packet type and figures out the protocol IDs. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void idpf_parse_protocol_ids (struct virtchnl2_ptype *ptype ,
                              struct libeth_rx_pt *rx_pt );

So it's a void function — no return value, she just does her thing and leaves 🌈 — and she takes two args: a struct virtchnl2_ptype * and a struct libeth_rx_pt *. Both pointers, both structs, both living their best lives.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ptype — the packet type to parse. This is the input, the main character of the whole operation 👑
  • rx_pt — store the parsed packet type info into. This is where the results go — she's your output bucket, your little results basket 🧺

Lowkey such a clean signature. Input struct, output struct, no drama, no surprises. We love a function that knows what it wants.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long — like, genuinely long. But every single one is here because I would never do you dirty like that 💜 The kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.c, and here's the whole squad:

That's the whole page, babes. Nothing hidden, nothing skipped, every flag-free function name present and accounted for 💖

Drop a 🎀 for the source tree ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, stamped October 2026, and that's the idpf_parse_protocol_ids(9) moment — periodt 💅✨
