enable_flow_control_ability(9)

💖 NAME 💖

enable_flow_control_ability — flow control. periodt. ✨

okay so this is enable_flow_control_ability(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey a tiny little flow-control baddie. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void enable_flow_control_ability (struct velocity_info *vptr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vptr — the veloity to configure 🫶 (yes bestie, veloity — that’s the spelling in the original, and we keep every detail, no cap).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so enable_flow_control_ability sets up flow control according to the flow-control options determined by the eeprom/configuration. That’s the whole assignment: flow-control setup based on what eeprom/configuration decided. It’s giving “configure the vibe and go” energy 🔥.
