csio_init_link_config(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about csio_init_link_config(9) — yes bestie, we're getting into link SW state and it's lowkey iconic.

💖 NAME 💖

csio_init_link_config - initialize a link's SW state

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void csio_init_link_config (struct link_config *lc , fw_port_cap32_t
pcaps , fw_port_cap32_t acaps );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lc — pointer to structure holding the link state
  • pcaps — link Port Capabilities
  • acaps — link current Advertised Port Capabilities

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This one initializes the SW state that's maintained for each link, including the link's capabilities and the default speed/flow-control/autonegotiation settings. That's the whole vibe — set up the link's software-side situation so everything knows what it's working with. Slay. 💅
