idpf_vport_init(9)

💖 idpf_vport_init(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the idpf_vport_init page — this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up ritual for a virtual port. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_vport_init — Initialize virtual port

like, it initializes the virtual port. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int idpf_vport_init (struct idpf_vport *vport , struct idpf_vport_max_q
*max_q );

yep, that's the whole signature — it returns an int, and it takes two things. no cap. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vport — the virtual port that's about to get its whole life together and be initialized 💖
• max_q — the vport max queue info. this is the tea it needs. 🍓

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the situation: idpf_vport_init will initialize vport with the info received through MB earlier. that's it, that's the whole description — it's short and iconic, we love a lowkey function that knows what it is. ✨

iykyk, "MB" tea gets delivered ahead of time and then this function does the actual setting-up. 👑

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 on success 🎉
• negative on failure 😭

that's your vibe check right there — zero means slay, anything negative means it's giving error. 💀
