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

Okay so real talk, this one's short and sweet — it's the little function that handles changing the Maximum Transfer Unit. Let's get into it, no cap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbevf_change_mtu — Change the Maximum Transfer Unit 💫

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ixgbevf_change_mtu (struct net_device *netdev , int new_mtu );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole device vibe container 👑
• new_mtu — the new value for maximum frame size, so like, the new number you're pitching 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns 0 on success, negative on failure. That's it. That's the whole description. Short king energy fr fr 💀

Like, if it worked it's giving 0 and if it didn't it's giving negative. That's your entire vibe check right there 😭
