okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for iavf_set_msglevel β yes that's the ninth section, yes we're fancy like that β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
iavf_set_msglevel β literally just Set debug message level, that's the whole vibe, no cap π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void iavf_set_msglevel (struct net_device *netdev , u32 data );
like, stare at it. memorize it. it's giving "small but mighty" energy fr fr π
π ARGUMENTS π
netdevβ the network interface device structure, aka the whole device situation. main character energy tbh π«Άdataβ the message level. this is the number that decides how chatty things get π£οΈ
π DESCRIPTION π
so what it does is set the current debug message level β¨ and here's the important bit, bestie, listen up β higher values cause the driver to be noisier π like, crank that number up and the driver starts yapping. lowkey a volume knob for log spam, iykyk π
not me warning you that "noisier" is doing real work in that sentence β that's straight from the source, don't come for me π
