__get_bond_by_port(9)

✨ __get_bond_by_port(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the tiniest little function and i'm obsessed 💅 it's giving "small but mighty" energy fr fr.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

__get_bond_by_port — get the port's bonding struct, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct bonding * __get_bond_by_port (struct port *port );

no cap, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly bestie, don't get creative with it 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• port — the port we're looking at 👀 that's the one and only thing you hand over.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do? it returns the port's bonding struct. and if it can't be found? it returns NULL. that's the tea ☕ no extra drama, no side quests, just struct-or-NULL, periodt.

like i said, tiny function, main character energy anyway 👑
