okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is literally a little getter function, no cap. It's giving "ask the firmware to spill the tea" energy 🫖✨

✨ NAME ✨

octep_ctrl_net_get_info — get info from firmware 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int octep_ctrl_net_get_info (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid ,
struct octep_fw_info *info );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • oct — a non-null pointer to struct octep_device. like, do NOT pass NULL here, that's not the vibe 🙈
  • vfid — the index of the virtual function. that's it, that's the number 🧚
  • info — a non-null pointer to struct octep_fw_info. this is where the info lands, so also not NULL, periodt 💀
