idpf_set_promiscuous(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is idpf_set_promiscuous(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole name is literally idpf_set_promiscuous — set promiscuous and send message to mailbox. That's the gig, that's the vibe, and it's giving kernel-core main character energy fr fr. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_set_promiscuous (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , struct
       idpf_vport_user_config_data *config_data , u32 vport_id );

copy that exactly, bestie — the spaces before the commas are not a typo, they're canon. 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — driver specific private structure. Like, the driver's own private structure, iykyk. 🫶
  • config_data — vport specific config data. The vport's specific config data — its own little config_data moment. ✨
  • vport_id — vport identifier. The vport identifier, no cap. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the actual tea: this is a request to enable promiscuous mode for the vport. That's the whole point. Message is sent asynchronously and won't wait for response — like it sends the text and does not sit there watching for the three dots. 😭 Returns 0 on success, negative on failure; and yes the semicolon is staying because that's what the page says. 💅
