axienet_ethtools_get_regs(9)

💅 axienet_ethtools_get_regs(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little function with main character energy, and she's about to spill all the register tea ☕✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

axienet_ethtools_get_regs — literally just dumps the contents of all the registers chilling inside the AxiEthernet core. Every single one. No cap. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void axienet_ethtools_get_regs (struct net_device *ndev , struct
       ethtool_regs *regs , void *ret );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ndev — pointer to the net_device structure, aka the whole vibe of your network device 💖
• regs — pointer to the ethtool_regs structure, she's the one holding the regs situation together
• ret — a void pointer used to hand back the contents of the registers. it's giving "here's your stuff, you're welcome" 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So the way this actually works: this bad girl implements the ethtool command for getting the Axi Ethernet register dump 👑

Wanna see it in action? Just issue this iconic little line:

ethtool -d ethX

and boom, that's what executes this function. that's the whole plot. periodt 💅
