__port_is_c...distributing(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the __port_is_c...distributing(9) page 💅 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it is short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic for how much it does with so little. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

__port_is_collecting_distributing — the little function that checks if the port's slave is in the combined collecting/distributing state 🔥

no cap, that's the whole vibe check: is this port's slave doing the collect-y AND distribute-y thing at the same time? 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int __port_is_collecting_distributing (struct port *port );

literally that's it. one function, one argument, returns an int. clean. minimal. main character energy 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • port — the port we're looking at 👀 yes bestie, that's the actual description, it's giving "trust me bro, you know which port" and honestly? we love a low-effort king 🌈

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

okay this part is a LOT, but every single one of these is here because the kernel file in question — ./drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c — is a whole friend group and this function knows everybody 🙈 so here's the full roll call, no skips, no cuts, periodt:

like I said. friend group. all fifty-seven of them 💀 but go read them, they're cute, iykyk 🧚

ngl there's no OPTIONS section, no exit statuses, no environment variables, no warnings — this page is just the function and its people. sometimes less is more bestie 💜

and that's the whole page!! 🌟 this icon dropped from ./drivers/net/bonding, dated October 2026, and it's the __port_is_c...distributing(9) page, so that's a wrap — slay, ate, no crumbs 💅✨🎀
