β¨ nfp_cpp_area_cpp(9) β¨
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π this one is from the Netronome NFP driver corner of the kernel and it's honestly so simple it's iconic β no cap, it's literally one function that gives you a handle back. let's get into it π«Ά
π NAME π
nfp_cpp_area_cpp β return CPP handle for CPP area
like, you hand it a CPP area and it hands you back the CPP handle that area belongs to. that's the whole vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct nfp_cpp * nfp_cpp_area_cpp (struct nfp_cpp_area *cpp_area );
look at that signature. chef's kiss. tiny. precious. does exactly one thing π₯
π ARGUMENTS π
cpp_areaβ CPP area handle. yep, that's it, that's the whole argument list. it's the area you're asking about, and it's astruct nfp_cpp_area *so you know it's the real deal π
β RETURN β
NFP CPP handle β the struct nfp_cpp * that your area lives under. slay. π
π§ SEE ALSO π§
bestie this list is LONG and it's giving "the whole friend group showed up to the party" π but every single one of them matters, so here we go, no skipping, fr fr:
- the kernel source file:

yeah. forty-something cross-references. we love a thorough queen ππ
lowkey obsessed with how a one-liner function gets this much documentation energy. main character behavior honestly π
and that's the page!! source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... (truncated, blame the terminal bestie π) and it's dated October 2026 β so mark your calendar, this manual page is a libra (or scorpio?? depends on the exact day, don't come for me). bye bestie, go return some CPP handles πβ¨π¦πΈπ
