ice_get_port_topology(9)

💅 ice_get_port_topology(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the whole manual name, we're in section 9, deep in kernel-API territory, and this page is lowkey a little baddie. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_port_topology — it returns the physical topology, like pcsquad, pcsport, and the serdes number. that's it, that's the whole gig. iconic behaviour, honestly. ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_get_port_topology (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 lport , struct
ice_port_topology *port_topology );

look at her. three args, returns an int. she's giving "small function, big responsibilities." 💅

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. the main character of the whole driver, fr fr. 👑
• lport — the logical port you're asking about. like, this is the port whose physical info you want. pick wisely. 🙈
• port_topology — buffer to hold the port topology. she's empty when she arrives and full of topology when she leaves. slay. 🎀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, negative on failure. that's the vibe check: zero means we ate, anything negative means we did not eat. 😭
