__qed_vf_get_link_caps(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is from the __qed_vf_get_link_caps(9) kernel API manual, and honestly it's a lil function with one job and it does it. no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

__qed_vf_get_link_caps — returns the link capabilities in a given bulletin board. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __qed_vf_get_link_caps (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct
qed_mcp_link_capabilities *p_link_caps , struct qed_bulletin_content
*p_bulletin );

three pointers in, absolutely nothing out (it's void, she's mysterious like that 💀). copy it exactly, lowercase void and all, bestie — do not get creative with the casing, fr fr.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • p_hwfn — the HW device data. it's the hardware function struct, the main character of this whole subsystem 👑
  • p_link_caps — pointer to a struct you fill with link capabilities. yes, you fill it. she hands you the pointer and trusts you. no pressure 🫶
  • p_bulletin — the bulletin. the bulletin board. the lil message board the PF leaves notes on for you. iconic. 🎀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void.

literally nothing comes back. no return value, no surprises, just pure peaceful void energy ✨ (and yes, the original capitalizes the V in Void. — keep it, we stan consistency 💅)

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the source file lives at kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_vf.h — go look, it's right there in the tree 📂

and here's the whole friend group, everyone in the qed vf squad, no one left out 🫶:

note the two with the double underscore prefix — __qed_vf_get_link_params(9) and __qed_vf_get_link_state(9) — those are the internal besties, iykyk 💜

🌈 reminder bestie: this is a void function that fills a caller-supplied struct. don't expect a return value, and don't expect it to allocate anything for you — the p_link_caps struct is yours to own 🫶
