💅 hinic_port_set_mtu(9) — like, the MTU setter, bestie

okay so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's a Huawei HINIC nic girlie and she does exactly one thing. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME

hinic_port_set_mtu — set mtu. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS

int hinic_port_set_mtu (struct hinic_dev *nic_dev , int new_mtu );

literally the whole function signature, verbatim, don't come for me 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS

  • nic_dev — the nic device 💖 (your network interface's little kernel-side moment)
  • new_mtu — the new mtu 🌈 (yes, it's the mtu you want to set. the vibes are immaculate and the naming is self-explanatory)

💜 DESCRIPTION

okay so the description here is giving minimalist icon:

Return 0 - Success, negative - Failure

that's the return-value situation, periodt. zero means slay, anything negative means 😭. no extra lore, no hidden caveats, that's genuinely the whole description and we respect her for it 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO

the source of truth lives in the kernel file:

./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_port.c
