💅 e1000_initialize_hw_bits_82571 — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today (yes, the (9) one, that's the kernel-section girlies 🌸) and the function we're stanning is e1000_initialize_hw_bits_82571. Pronounce it however you want, she's iconic either way.

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_initialize_hw_bits_82571 — Initialize hardware-dependent bits. That's it, that's the whole vibe: she sets up the bits, and those bits are hardware-dependent. 🔥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void e1000_initialize_hw_bits_82571 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

literally returns nothing (void, she gives nothing back and honestly same) and takes exactly one pointer. no cap.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. one (1) pointer, pointing at your hardware struct. that's the whole guest list 💅

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Initializes required hardware-dependent bits needed for normal operation. like, the bits that depend on the hardware? those ones. she initializes them. without her, normal operation is not giving. with her — slay. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, where she lives (her address, her home, her whole lease):
