💅 axienet_etht..._get_drvinfo(9) — bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual

okay so first things first, the manual you're reading rn is the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the whole vibe), and the function doing the absolute most today is axienet_ethtools_get_drvinfo 💖 buckle up.

---

✨ NAME ✨

axienet_ethtools_get_drvinfo — literally just gets various Axi Ethernet driver information 🎀 it's giving "tell me about yourself" but for a network driver.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void axienet_ethtools_get_drvinfo (struct net_device *ndev , struct
       ethtool_drvinfo *ed );

no cap, that's the whole signature. returns void so like… nothing comes back, it just does stuff 🌸

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ndev — Pointer to net_device structure. this is the main character of the whole netdev universe ngl 👑
• ed — Pointer to ethtool_drvinfo structure. this is where the driver info lands, and yes she's the one holding the tea ☕

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function implements the ethtool command for getting the driver information — it's the plug, the info dealer, the "what's the vibe of this driver" queen 💅

and how do you trigger her? easy:

Issue "ethtool -i ethX" under linux prompt to execute this function.

that's it. that's the whole ritual ✨ type it in your shell, watch the magic happen, no notes.
