hns_get_ringparam(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 hns_get_ringparam(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — the kernel API zone, where all the driver lore lives. today's main character is hns_get_ringparam, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little getter that just wants to hand you your ring params." no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hns_get_ringparam — get ring parameter 🌸

like, that's literally the whole job. it gets the ring parameter. lowkey iconic for that.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void hns_get_ringparam (struct net_device *net_dev , struct
ethtool_ringparam *param , struct kernel_ethtool_ringparam *kernel_param
, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

notice that it returns void, bestie — it's not here to give you a status code, it's here to fill in your structs. main character energy. 🔥

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

four arguments. four. we love a structured queen. 💜

  • net_dev — the net device. the whole reason we're here fr fr. 🌈
  • param — the ethtool parameter. this is the one getting the goods. ✨
  • kernel_param — the ethtool external parameter. yes, external. a separate thing. don't mix them up, i'm begging 😭
  • extack — the netlink extended ACK report struct. it's the receipt, basically. 🧚

bestie. buckle up. the hns family is huge and everyone wants a shoutout. 💀
