i40e_led_set_reg(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this page comes straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about one little function that has one little job πŸ’…

i40e_led_set_reg β€” write LED register

like, that's it. that's the whole thing. it writes a register that controls an LED, and honestly? iconic minimalism. no cap


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the signature, copy it exactly, do not freestyle it πŸ™ˆ

int i40e_led_set_reg (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 led_addr , u32 reg_val );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

three args, three vibes, let's get into it 🫢

  • hw β€” pointer to the HW structure. yeah, the whole hardware struct, you're handing it over. main character energy fr
  • led_addr β€” the LED register address. like, which LED register we're talking to. you gotta know the address, iykyk ✨
  • reg_val β€” the register value to write. this is the actual thing you're shoving in there. the payload. the moment πŸ’«

yeah. that's 127 of them. I counted. we ate and left no crumbs πŸ“


ngl this page is short but the SEE ALSO section is carrying the entire personality, and honestly? respect. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page bestie!! tysm for reading, mwah πŸŽ€

this came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 β€” so like, notes from the future?? lowkey obsessed πŸ¦‹βœ¨πŸ’œ
