✨ ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops(9) ✨

okay so bestie, you found yourself a page from the Kernel API Manual — this is the ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops one, and honestly? it's a tiny little function with big main character energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops — literally just sets the ethtool_phy_ops singleton. that's the whole job. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops (const struct ethtool_phy_ops *ops );

like… look at that signature. void, so nothing comes back out. it just does the thing and dips ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ops — the Ethtool PHY operations you wanna set. that's the one and only thing you hand it. the ethtool PHY ops. to set. periodt 🫶

<nice>and that's the whole page, bestie. nothing dangerous, nothing deprecated, no weird exit statuses to worry about — just a setter doing setter things 🌈</nice>

fr fr though: every name above is spelled exactly like it lives in the source, so don't go renaming anything when you cite it 💀
