e1000_check_mng_mode_pchlan(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_check_mng_mode_pchlan — the lil function that checks the management mode 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool e1000_check_mng_mode_pchlan (struct e1000_hw *hw );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 (yes bestie, the whole hardware struct, we love a struct pointer)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so real talk: this one checks if the adapter has iAMT enabled. ✨ That's the whole vibe check.

And here's the tea ☕ — this is a function pointer entry point only. Like, it's not out here getting called by randos; it's literally only called by the read/write routines for the PHY and NVM parts. No cap. 👑

So if you're wondering "can I just call this from anywhere?" — nope, it's giving very specific callers only, iykyk. 🙈
