ice_update_link_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, that's the whole manual name, and yes we're getting into it. This is the page for ice_update_link_info, and it does exactly one gorgeous little thing: it updates the status of the HW network link. That's it. That's the vibe. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

ice_update_link_info — update status of the HW network link

No cap, that's the entire job description. She keeps the hardware link status fresh. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_update_link_info (struct ice_port_info *pi );

Look at her. Returns an int. Takes one pointer. Immaculate. 🎀

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • pi — port info structure of the interested logical port

So like, you pass in the port info struct for whichever logical port you're curious about, and she goes and refreshes the link status for it. the interested logical port — that's the actual phrasing, and honestly it's giving main character energy. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Buckle up babes, this list is enormous — it's the whole ice friend group and they ALL showed up. First, the kernel file where the magic lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c

And now the icons themselves, in the exact order the page gives them, no skipping, no cap:

Yeah. That's a lot of friends. Obsessed with how thorough this cross-reference game is. 🫶

Heads up bestie: that SEE ALSO list is long and it is exactly as long as it looks — don't go skimming it and assuming you got the gist. Read it. 💀

And that's the page!! Literally it. Short and iconic, just like she deserves. 🍓

Sign-off time: this little number comes from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it is filed under ice_update_link_info(9). Slay, bye!! 🧚💜
