STRUCT IONIC_LIF_INIT_COMP(9)

💖 struct ionic_lif_init_comp(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct ionic_lif_init_comp(9). yes it's a mouthful, yes it's iconic, no you don't have to say it out loud at a party. it's giving "small struct, big main character energy" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ionic_lif_init_comp — the completion for the LIF init command. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ionic_lif_init_comp {
    u8 status;
    u8 rsvd;
    __le16 hw_index;
    u8 rsvd2[12];
 };

look at her. four members, zero notes. slay 💅

---

👑 Members 👑

• status — the status of the command, and it's an enum ionic_status_code. so yeah, that's how you know if it went off without a hitch or if it's giving "😭". no cap.
• rsvd — reserved byte(s). literally just sitting there holding space. respect 🫶
• hw_index — the hardware index of the initialized LIF. that's the number, the one that matters, an actual __le16 and everything ⭐
• rsvd2 — reserved byte(s) again, this time it's rsvd2[12]. twelve whole bytes of "don't touch, i'm reserved". obsessive 💀

lowkey a note: those rsvd fields are reserved, so pls don't go writing your fanfic into them, bestie 🙈
