nfp_mip_open(9)

💖 nfp_mip_open(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to nfp_mip_open, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and no cap this one is short and sweet. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nfp_mip_open — get that device MIP structure, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const struct nfp_mip * nfp_mip_open (struct nfp_cpp *cpp );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cpp — the NFP CPP Handle, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what this icon does is copy the MIP structure from the NFP device and hand it right back to you, no cap. it's giving "here bestie, I got you" ✨

the returned structure is handled internally by the library — literally the library's business, not yours — and it should be freed by calling nfp_mip_close. don't forget that part, ok? it's the cleanup era we all need 🙈

👑 RETURN 👑

returns a pointer to mip, and NULL on failure. that's the whole story, fr fr 💀
