👑 ethtool_params_from_link_mode — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of ethtool_params_from_link_mode(9) — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ethtool_params_from_link_mode — literally derives your link parameters from a given link mode, no cap 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ethtool_params_from_link_mode (struct ethtool_link_ksettings
*link_ksettings , enum ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices link_mode );

like, that's the whole signature. it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, she doesn't have one 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• link_ksettings — the link parameters that get derived from the link mode. think of it as the girl who receives the makeover 🫶
• link_mode — the link mode. that's it. that's the whole description. iconic minimalism honestly ✨
