💖 e1000_get_hw_dev(9) 💖

ok so bestie, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-API girlies) and it's about one smol helper function. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_get_hw_dev — the helper function for getting netdev. literally what it says on the tin, no notes 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct net_device * e1000_get_hw_dev (struct e1000_hw *hw );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW struct 🫶 that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ok so here's the tea: this function returns the device that the hardware layer uses to print debugging information 👑 like, the hardware layer needs somewhere to send its lil debug messages, and this is the function that hands over that device. iconic behaviour, honestly.
