🎀 fman_reset_mac — the Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, this one is a short page — we're talking fman_reset_mac(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. It's tiny, it's iconic, it does exactly one (1) thing, and honestly? respect. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

fman_reset_mac —

fr fr, the description after the dash is literally empty in the original, so I'm not gonna invent one for you. It's giving mysterious. It's giving "the function name speaks for itself." 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fman_reset_mac (struct fman *fman , u8 mac_id );

like, look at her. returning an int, taking two args, not a single extra character of drama. queen behavior. 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • fman — a pointer to the FMan device. that's your whole device vibe right there, so don't lose it. 💖
  • mac_id — the MAC id you want reset. that's it. that's the one getting reset.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Reset a specific MAC. that's the whole description, no notes, no elaboration, no extra lore — I am not adding any because the manpage did NOT give me any. 😭 it's short and sweet and it knows what it is.

like... go off, fman_reset_mac. reset that MAC. slay. 🔥

✨ RETURN ✨

  • 0 on success 🎉 — we love a zero, zero is the good number
  • an error code otherwise 💀 — if it's not 0, something went sideways

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

you know we gotta shout out the whole friend group. the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/fman.c and these are all in the same orbit:

go read those next, iykyk 🦋

💫 quick vibe check before you go: the manpage footer said ./drivers/net/ethernet/freesca... and dated it October 2026, so that's your source/version situation and its timestamp — screenshot it, cite it, love it. bye bestie, go reset a MAC responsibly 🌸
