i40e_ptp_set_pins_hw(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_ptp_set_pins_hw(9) — or, "how to make the hardware GPIO pins behave"

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a tiny one, but it's important, so let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_ptp_set_pins_hw — set HW GPIO pins 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i40e_ptp_set_pins_hw (struct i40e_pf *pf );

like, that's it. that's the whole function signature. no return value, no drama. periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pf — the board private structure. yes bestie, it's the big struct that holds all the board-specific tea for this driver 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk: this function sets GPIO pins for PTP. that's the whole vibe. it goes in, it configures those pins, it leaves. no cap ✨

ngl it's a short description for a short function, and that's lowkey iconic of it — not everything needs to be a whole saga 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the actual source file where this lives, because reading the code is always a mood:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c

and then the whole friend group — every single one of these, no skips, i promised:

🧚 tiny note: yes, i40_ptp_reset_timing_events(9) really is spelled with the single e up there — that's the name, i don't make the rules, i just report them 💀

okay bye bestie, go set some pins 💜

— this has been the i40e corner of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, October 2026 edition, brought to you by the Kernel API Manual. slay, stay timestamped, and don't touch a GPIO pin you don't understand 🌈⭐💅
