velocity_get_ip(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the velocity_get_ip(9) page, bestie — and it's literally here to find an IP address for the device. that's the whole vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int velocity_get_ip (struct velocity_info *vptr );

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• vptr — the Velocity you're querying. just hand over that pointer, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what are we doing here? we're digging out an IP address for this interface so we can configure wakeup with WOL for ARP. iconic behavior, honestly 🔥

if there are multiple IP addresses on this chain, we use the first one — because multi-IP WOL is not supported. not me pointing at the rules, they're just the rules 💀
