💅 ixgbe_aci_get_netlist_node(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about grabbing one (1) node handle out of the netlist. tiny function, big main character energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_aci_get_netlist_node — get a node handle. that's it. that's the whole job. she gets the node handle and she slays 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_aci_get_netlist_node (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct
ixgbe_aci_cmd_get_link_topo *cmd , u8 *node_part_number , u16
*node_handle );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. you know her, you love her, she's the hardware baddie 🫶
  • cmd — the get_link_topo AQ structure. that's the command package being sent, no cap.
  • node_part_number — output node part number if node found. note the if node found — she's conditional, she's mysterious 🙈
  • node_handle — output node handle parameter if node found. same vibe, also conditional 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the actual lore: this function gets the netlist node and assigns it to the handle you passed in, using the ACI command 0x06E0. that's the whole plot. no plot twists. iconic behavior honestly 👑

ngl the "assigns it to the provided handle" part is doing so much work here — the handle you hand over is where the answer lands, so keep an eye on those output params bestie 😭

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns the exit code of the operation. that's it — one value, and it tells you how the whole thing went down. vibe check delivered by the return value fr fr ⭐

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral — she knows everyone. like, 96 mutuals. deep breaths, we're going through them all 💀

🎀 the cute little sign-off 🎀

okay that's the whole page bestie, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (it's the ixgbe drivers tree under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/, the manpage just gets a lil shy and truncates itself 💅), and the whole thing is dated October 2026. go get that node handle, you're gonna absolutely ate ✨🦋💖
