ice_get_settings_link_down(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_settings_link_down — get the Link settings when link is down 💅

Ok so this lil icon is living in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and she does exactly one thing but she does it well, periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_get_settings_link_down (struct ethtool_link_ksettings *ks ,
struct net_device *netdev );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ks — the ethtool ksettings you're gonna fill in 🫶 like bestie here is the canvas, ok?
• netdev — the network interface device structure 🌐 the whole device vibe check

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Reports link settings that can be determined when link is down. That's it, that's the gig 😭

So when the link is down and everyone's spiralling, this function reports the link settings that it can still figure out while the link is down. Lowkey iconic of her honestly.
