🌸 NAME 🌸

ipr_alloc_mem — Allocate memory for an adapter.

This is the ipr_alloc_mem(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, hiiii bestie 💖✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ipr_alloc_mem (struct ipr_ioa_cfg *ioa_cfg );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioa_cfg — the ioa config struct. literally that's the argument, no cap 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: ipr_alloc_mem allocates memory for an adapter.

Return value, verbatim: 0 on success / non-zero for error. that's the whole description bestie — iconic, brief, done 💀✨
