ntb_peer_port_count(9)

💖 ntb_peer_port_count(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (the (9) section, kernel internals bestie, iykyk) and it's literally about counting your peers. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ntb_peer_port_count — get the number of peer device ports 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ntb_peer_port_count (struct ntb_dev *ntb );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ntb — the NTB device context. like, the whole device vibe you're asking about 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: hardware may support access to the memory of several remote domains over multi-port NTB devices. key word may, bestie, don't come for me.

this method returns the number of peers that the local device can share memory with. that's it. that's the whole function. it's giving "small but mighty." 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of peer ports ✨
