i40e_get_pauseparam(9)

💅 i40e_get_pauseparam

okay so bestie, this one's from the Kernel API Manual (that's the (9) energy, section 9, kernel internals, we're deep in it rn) — and it's literally just about asking a NIC "hey girl, what's your flow control situation?" 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_get_pauseparam — Get Flow Control status 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_get_pauseparam (struct net_device *netdev, struct ethtool_pauseparam *pause);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the netdevice structure, aka the network device we're being nosy about 🫶
• pause — buffer to return pause parameters — this is the lil container the answer gets dropped into 💅

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Return tx/rx-pause status. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it comes back with whether transmit-pause and receive-pause are on, no cap 🔥

ngl bestie, that's a LOT of cross-references — but you asked for the full list and you're getting the full list, periodt 💀
