igb_init_module(9)

Hiii bestie 💖 welcome to igb_init_module(9), the Kernel API Manual page that's basically the driver's first day at school. It's the Driver Registration Routine, and it's lowkey the opener of the whole igb situation. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

• igb_init_module — Driver Registration Routine. That's the whole name, bestie, and it's iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The signature is giving very minimal, very demure:

int igb_init_module (void );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. Not a single one. Zero. Nada. The void is literally voiding. 🕳️✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

igb_init_module is the first routine called when the driver is loaded. Yes, first. Main character energy from the jump. 👑

All it does is register with the PCI subsystem. That's it. That's the whole gig. No extra side quests, no plot twists, just registration. Periodt. 💅
