📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_mdio_if_number_selection — MDIO I/F number selection 💅

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and the page title is i40e_mdio_i...er_selection(9) (yes it's truncated, that's just manpage naming being manpage naming 😭). The function itself is spelled all the way out in the NAME up there — don't let the dotted title jump you.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_mdio_if_number_selection (struct i40e_hw *hw , bool set_mdio ,
u8 mdio_num , struct i40e_aqc_phy_register_access *cmd );

no return value, it's a void girlie — it does the thing and dips 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct 🖥️ like, the whole hardware situation
  • set_mdio — use the MDIO I/F number that mdio_num hands you 👀 it's a bool, so it's a yes/no vibe
  • mdio_num — the MDIO I/F number itself 🔢 (a u8, keep it smol)
  • cmd — pointer to the PHY Register command structure 📝
