ixgbe_parse_vf_func_caps(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbe_parse_vf_func_caps — a little intro 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to ixgbe_parse_vf_func_caps(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is page nine, section nine, and it's literally a tiny little helper that goes brrr through capability data. sit down, get comfy, we're doing kernel parsing 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_parse_vf_func_caps — the one that parses LIBIE_AQC_CAPS_VF function caps 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_parse_vf_func_caps (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct
ixgbe_hw_func_caps *func_p , struct libie_aqc_list_caps_elem *cap );

she takes three pointers and returns void, which honestly is such a mood — does her thing, says nothing, leaves 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. the hardware in question, the main character of the whole file honestly 👑
  • func_p — pointer to function capabilities structure. this is where the parsed goodness lands 🎀
  • cap — pointer to the capability element to parse. the raw ingredient, the little guy being read 🌸

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she do? she extracts function capabilities for LIBIE_AQC_CAPS_VF ✨ that's it, that's the whole vibe. read the cap element, pull out the VF function caps, done. no cap, it's a small function and she's thriving 🦋

ngl she's not doing anything wild here — she's a supporting character in the ixgbe e610 saga, and that's iconic in its own way 💫
