hns_get_coalesce(9)

💅 hns_get_coalesce — get coalesce info ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally about asking your NIC "hey babe, what's your coalesce situation?" 🎀 It's hns_get_coalesce(9) and she's adorable, let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hns_get_coalesce — get coalesce info. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int hns_get_coalesce (struct net_device *net_dev , struct
ethtool_coalesce *ec , struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *kernel_coal ,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

no cap, that's the exact signature, copy it character for character or the compiler will simply end you 💀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

four args, all main characters, let's do a little vibe check on each one:

• net_dev — the net device. the network device in question. the girlies. 🌐
• ec — coalesce info. yes queen, that's the coalesce info right there. 💅
• kernel_coal — the ethtool CQE mode setting structure. fancy. 👑
• extack — extack for reporting error messages. she's the one who tells you when something went wrong, and honestly? we stan an honest communicator. 😭

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Return 0 on success, negative on failure.

that's literally the whole description bestie — success gets you a clean 0, failure gets you a negative number and a little heartbreak 🙈 fr fr, that's all she wrote.
