dpni_get_link_state(9)

okay so bestie, this is <hotpink>dpni_get_link_state(9)</hotpink> from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel API zone ✨. it's giving "tell me if the link is up or down," and honestly? iconic. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

dpni_get_link_state — return the link state, and by that we mean either up or down. that's the whole assignment, no cap. 💖

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

int dpni_get_link_state (struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io , u32 cmd_flags , u16
       token , struct dpni_link_state *state );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• mc_io — pointer to MC portal's I/O object. that's your portal bestie, the I/O object handle 🫶
• cmd_flags — command flags; one or more of 'MC_CMD_FLAG_'. literally a choose-your-flags moment ✨
• token — token of DPNI object. keep track of that token, bestie 🎀
• state — returned link state;. yes, this is where the link state comes back to you 💖

😭 RETURN 😭

the original page leaves this section blank — no return description, no value, just the heading and then it runs straight to SEE ALSO. so yeah, that's a whole mood 😭💀. i'm not gonna invent stuff, because the facts stay facts.
