ngbe_probe(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ngbe_probe(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 🫶 this one is literally the Device Initialization Routine, and the function is ngbe_probe. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ngbe_probe (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id *ent
);

it's giving “kernel function signature” and honestly? iconic. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• pdev — PCI device information struct. yes bestie, the PCI device info lives here. 🦋
• ent — entry in ngbe_pci_tbl. that's it, that's the entry. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

return vibe check first: it returns 0 on success and negative on failure. 😭 so 0 = success, negative = failure.

okay so ngbe_probe initializes an wx identified by a pci_dev structure. the OS initialization, the configuring of the wx private structure, and a hardware reset all occur. that's the tea, fr fr. 🔥
