fw_caps_to_lmm(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the fw_caps_to_lmm(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this one is short and iconic, so let’s get into it fr fr. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fw_caps_to_lmm — translate Firmware to ethtool Link Mode Mask. That’s literally the assignment, no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fw_caps_to_lmm (enum fw_port_type port_type , unsigned int fw_caps
, unsigned long *link_mode_mask );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• port_type — Firmware Port Type. That’s the port-type vibe check. 🦋
• fw_caps — Firmware Port Capabilities. The capabilities, periodt. 💅
• link_mode_mask — ethtool Link Mode Mask. Yes bestie, this is the mask. 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so fw_caps_to_lmm translates a Firmware Port Capabilities specification to an ethtool Link Mode Mask. That’s the whole plot — it takes the firmware caps and gives you the ethtool link mode mask, and the way that’s the entire description is kinda iconic tbh. 👑
