💅 ixgbe_fcoe_get_hbainfo — a kernel API manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_fcoe_get_hbainfo(9) page — yes that's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's a whole vibe. it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one (1) thing. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_fcoe_get_hbainfo — literally just "get FCoE HBA information". that's the whole job. no cap. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_fcoe_get_hbainfo (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       netdev_fcoe_hbainfo *info );

so it returns an int, takes two args, and yes the line break in the middle there is iconic in a chaotic way — it's giving "wrapped by the manpage generator". 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • netdev — the ixgbe adapter. your actual network device. the main character, honestly. 👑
  • info — the HBA information. this is the place where the info goes, iykyk. 🌟

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns ixgbe HBA information.

that's it. that's the description. it returns ixgbe HBA information. short king behavior. no extra lore, no side quests, just vibes and info. ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐
