✨ i40e_diag_eeprom_test ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's all about one lil function that pokes at your EEPROM to make sure it's not being sus 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_diag_eeprom_test — literally that's it, that's the whole name, the original page gives us no description after the dash and honestly? mysterious main character energy 🎀

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

int i40e_diag_eeprom_test (struct i40e_hw *hw );

that's the whole vibe: you call it, you hand it a hw, it hands you back an int. no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hw struct, that's the one and only thing you gotta give it, and yes it's a pointer, don't forget the * or it's giving compiler tantrum 😭

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Perform EEPROM diagnostic test ✨

like, that's the tea: this function does the EEPROM diagnostic test. it checks the EEPROM. diagnostically. it's a diagnostic test for the EEPROM, if you will 💀 — the manpage says it in five words and honestly it ate, no notes, very demure, very mindful 👑
