fbnic_fw_xmi...ene_read_msg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this one is fbnic_fw_xmit_tsene_read_msg — yes the header up there got chopped like fbnic_fw_xmi...ene_read_msg(9) (the terminal version of a bad wig, honestly 🙈), but the real full name in section (9) of the Kernel API Manual is fbnic_fw_xmit_tsene_read_msg, and what it does is create and transmit a sensor read request. that's it, that's the whole personality. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int fbnic_fw_xmit_tsene_read_msg (struct fbnic_dev *fbd , struct
fbnic_fw_completion *cmpl_data );

like look at her. returns an int, takes two args, minding her own business. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • fbd — the FBNIC device structure, aka the whole entire device, the main character of the story 👑
  • cmpl_data — the completion data structure, and its job is literally to store the sensor response, so it's like the little tray where the snack gets delivered 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically (and this is lowkey iconic), this function asks the firmware to please provide an update with the latest sensor data. that's the ask. that's the mission. 🫶

and the response? the response will contain temperature and voltage readings. temp and volts. the two things sensors love to gossip about. no cap. 🔥

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 (we love a zero)
  • negative error value on failure 😭 (we do not love that, but at least it's honest)

bestie go read the source, it's right here:

💀 quick vibe check before you go: everything above is the whole manual page, nothing dropped, nothing extra invented. okurrr.

mwah 💜 this page lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic, dated October 2026, and it goes out to fbnic_fw_xmit_tsene_read_msg(9) — that's the source/version and the date, bestie, we're done here. slay, go read your sensor data. 🧚‍♀️🌸
