e1000_write_...om_microwire(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the e1000_write_...om_microwire(9) page in this Kernel API Manual — yes, the title is giving truncated-filename realness, but the function it's hyping is e1000_write_eeprom_microwire. What does it do? It Writes a 16 bit word to a given offset in a Microwire EEPROM. no cap, that's the whole name vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature exactly as it appears — do not come for me about the spacing, it's iconic:

s32 e1000_write_eeprom_microwire (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 offset , u16 words , u16 *data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — Struct containing variables accessed by shared code. it's giving "shared brain cell" energy.
• offset — offset within the EEPROM to be written to.
• words — number of words to write.
• data — pointer to array of 8 bit words to be written to the EEPROM.
