libeth_xskfq_create(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ libeth_xskfq_create β€” create an XSkFQ ✨

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (libeth_xskfq_create(9)) and it's literally just one job: spin up an XSkFQ. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int libeth_xskfq_create (struct libeth_xskfq *fq );

yep, one arg, returns an int, we love a simple signature fr fr 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fq β€” the fill queue you wanna initialize. that's the one, bestie, hand it over πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does it do? it allocates the FQEs (yes, all of them 😭) and initializes the fields that libeth_xdp is gonna need:

  • number of buffers to refill
  • refill threshold
  • buffer len

like, it's giving "prep work before the main character shows up" energy. lowkey essential, highkey underrated. πŸ‘‘


⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success ✨
  • -errno otherwise 😭

so like, zero means slay, anything else means check your errno, bestie.
