💅 ixgbe_fcoe_enable(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

Okay so real quick: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is ixgbe_fcoe_enable — like, the function's whole moment. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_fcoe_enable — turn on the FCoE offload feature 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_fcoe_enable (struct net_device *netdev );

That's it. That's the whole call signature. Slay, honestly. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• netdev — the corresponding netdev. Yep, that's the one you're tying this feature to, your little network device main character 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it actually do? It turns on the FCoE offload feature in 82599. That's the vibe. That's the whole job. It walks in, flips the FCoE offload switch on for 82599, and leaves. No cap 🔥

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 indicates success 👑
• -EINVAL on failure 😭

So yeah, check your return value, bestie — zero is the dream, -EINVAL means something went sideways. Periodt.
