ice_link_event(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the ice_link_event(9) page — it's a kernel API manual, it's giving "Intel ice driver lore" and honestly? it's lowkey iconic. anyway, let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_link_event — literally processes the link event, no cap

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_link_event (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_port_info *pi , bool
link_up , u16 link_speed );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so here's the rundown of every single thing you're passing in, and yes we're covering all of them 💅

  • pf — the PF that the link event is associated with. like, the whole personality of this call revolves around it, periodt.
  • pi — the port_info for the port that the link event is associated with. it's giving "the specific port's little info packet", iykyk.
  • link_up — true if the physical link is up and false if it is down. no in-between, bestie, it's a vibe check: up or down, that's it 🌈.
  • link_speed — the current link speed received from the link event. literal u16 energy, we love a narrow integer 👑.

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it do? okay so, it returns 0 on success and negative on failure. that's the whole description, fr fr. short and slay, like a text you send at 2am 💀. negative means something went wrong — don't ignore it, bestie, that's not the move 🙈.
