💖 idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev — yes it's a 9er, yes it's a function, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev — literally just allocate and register a vport Auxiliary device. that's the whole vibe. no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev (struct iidc_rdma_core_dev_info *cdev_info ,
struct iidc_rdma_vport_dev_info *vdev_info );

so it's an int return, the name, and two pointers. cute, concise, iconic 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev_info — the IDC core device info pointer. like, the main character's ID card fr fr 🎀
• vdev_info — the IDC vport device info pointer. the vport's own little ID card, obsessed 💜

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or an error code if it fails 😭 — so like, check it, bestie. 0 means slay, anything else means go read the error code and figure out what went wrong.
