🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ipsec — pointer to ipsec struct. it's giving "here's my whole ipsec world, please look inside" 🥺

🍓 ok and one lil sign-off before you go: the page footer says the source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... — yes, it's literally cut off mid-path like that 😭 iconic honestly — and the date is October 2026. the manual page name down there is ixgbe_ipsec_find_empty_idx(9) too, so you cannot forget it. bye bestie, go find those empty indices 💅✨🌸
