igb_probe(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, meet igb_probe(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the Device Initialization Routine. It’s giving “first day of school for a network adapter” energy, and the function is literally named igb_probe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int igb_probe (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id *ent );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the PCI device information struct. That’s the device’s little info packet, basically.
• ent — entry in igb_pci_tbl. Yes, exactly that table, no renaming, no edits.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It returns 0 on success and negative on failure — that’s the whole mood, fr fr.

igb_probe initializes an adapter identified by a pci_dev structure. The OS initialization, configuring of the adapter private structure, and a hardware reset occur. All three, no skips, no “we’ll do it later” energy 💅.
