💖 nfp_net_init(9) — like, the whole kernel-API-manual situation 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this is the nfp_net_init(9) page and it's giving "short but iconic" ✨ we're literally setting up the nfp_net structure today, no big deal 💅

✨ NAME ✨

like yes that's the whole vibe, we're doing the setup and the teardown, main character energy for the whole lifecycle 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int nfp_net_init (struct nfp_net *nn );

one function, one pointer, zero drama. look at her go 😭

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • nn — the NFP Net device structure, aka the actual thing you're initialising/finalising. that's the whole bestie right there 💜

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 slay
  • negative errno on error 💀 so like, check it, fr fr — negative means something went sideways, not that you got a real value back

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long but every single one of these is part of the squad, so let's give them all their moment 👑

the kernel file we're living in:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_common.c

and the extended friend group:

thirty-one whole cross-references, we ate and left absolutely no crumbs 🔥 iykyk 💅

ngl there are no extra flags, no env vars, no exit statuses hiding on this page — nfp_net_init is a 0-or-negative-errno girlie and that's the entire plot 🍓

and that's the page!! this little cutie lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... and she's dated October 2026 🧚 mwah, go init something bestie 💖🦋🌸
