💌 ixgbevf_write_mbx(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbevf_write_mbx page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, it's giving "official business" and we're gonna vibe with it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbevf_write_mbx — drop a message into the mailbox and then wait for the ACK, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 ixgbevf_write_mbx (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 *msg , u16 size );

like, that's the whole signature, she's small but she's doing a lot 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. literally just the hardware hangout spot 🏠
  • msg — The message buffer. this is where your message lives, bestie 💌
  • size — Length of buffer. tell her how big the thing is, she needs to know 📏

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

returns 0 if it successfully copied the message into the buffer and received an ACK to that message within the specified period ⭐

that's it, that's the whole deal. 0 = she ate. anything else = the ACK didn't show up in time and the vibe check failed 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
