hw_set_grp_addr(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the hw_set_grp_addr(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨. This is hw_set_grp_addr — set multicast addresses, periodt. It's the routine that handles programming multicast addresses, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void hw_set_grp_addr (struct ksz_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — The hardware instance. You're handing over the hardware instance, that's the whole vibe.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This routine programs multicast addresses for the hardware to accept those addresses. That's it, that's the function: it does the multicast-address programming thing so the hardware is like “yes bestie, I accept these addresses” 💅. The description is short and iconic, so we're keeping it exactly that real.
