💅 mlx5hws_action_template_create — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for mlx5hws_action_template_create(9) — yes the title's a little truncated in the header, that's just how it's printed, we move 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mlx5hws_action_template_create — bestie, this literally creates a brand-new action template, and it builds it out of an action_type array 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct mlx5hws_action_template * mlx5hws_action_template_create (enum
mlx5hws_action_type action_type[] );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• action_type — this is an array of actions, and the order you put them in matters, no cap 🫶 It has to line up with the order of actions that'll later be handed over with rule_actions to mlx5hws_rule_create. And the very last action in the array? It gets marked with MLX5HWS_ACTION_TYP_LAST — that's the signal that the list is done, periodt 💀

---

👑 RETURN 👑

A pointer to mlx5hws_action_template on success 💖 … and NULL otherwise 😭
