ixgbe_aci_get_event(9)

✨ ixgbe_aci_get_event — get an event from ACI

okay so bestie, this one's from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel-internals territory, iykyk 💅. It's a little function called ixgbe_aci_get_event, and honestly? It's giving "grab the mail" energy. Let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

ixgbe_aci_get_event — get an event from ACI

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int ixgbe_aci_get_event (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct ixgbe_aci_event *e
, bool *pending );

no cap, that's the whole signature ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• hw — pointer to the HW struct 🫶 literally the hardware, hand it over
• e — event information structure 💌 this is where the event content lands
• pending — optional flag signaling that there are more pending events ⭐ optional bestie, but lowkey useful

---

👑 DESCRIPTION

Obtain an event from ACI and return its content through e using ACI command (0x0014) 🔥. And because the universe never sends just one, it also tells you whether there are more events to retrieve through pending 👀.

that's it, that's the vibe. fetch an event, hand it back, flag the leftovers 🌈

---

💜 RETURN

the exit code of the operation. periodt 💅

bestie that's a lot of cross-references and yes, you do need all of them 💀 do not come for me about the length, the manpage said it first 😭

🌟 sign-off

so this page came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the path gets truncated, tragic, I know 🙈) and it's dated October 2026 — future vibes, main character energy ⌛✨. anyway, go fetch those events, you're gonna slay 💅🎀🦋
