hns_get_channels(9)

💖 hns_get_channels(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk: this is a section-9 kernel page, one of those <pink>hns_get_channels(9)</pink> ones, and it is tiny — like, two-argument tiny. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hns_get_channels — literally just: get channel info. that's the whole vibe. it gets the channel info. no notes. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void hns_get_channels (struct net_device *net_dev , struct
ethtool_channels *ch );

yes bestie, that's the exact signature, line break and all — void return, nothing comes back, it just fills your stuff in. 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• net_dev — the net device. your nic. the main character of this whole operation 👑
• ch — channel info. this is the thing that gets the info. the receptacle. the blessed little struct. 🎀

ngl that's the entire argument list. two things. iconic minimalism tbh.
