💖 e1000e_rar_set_generic(9) — the kernel API manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the e1000e_rar_set_generic(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's short and sweet and honestly it's giving "quiet kid in the back of the class who's actually the main character" energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000e_rar_set_generic — literally just: set receive address register. that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int e1000e_rar_set_generic (struct e1000_hw *hw , u8 *addr , u32 index
);

it's an int function, no cap, and it takes three things. that's it, that's the signature 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. like, the hardware situation itself 💜
  • addr — pointer to the receive address. the address in question, fr fr
  • index — receive address array register. which slot in the array we're talking about 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it do? it sets the receive address array register at index to the address passed in by addr. that's the entire story. short, iconic, no notes 🦋✨

(and yes, the way that it just does exactly one thing and does it well? obsessed. very demure, very mindful of scope 💖)

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the source itself, in case you wanna go look at the code with your own two eyes:
