💅 igb_power_down_link(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the igb_power_down_link page — this is the Kernel API Manual entry for that one function, page igb_power_down_link(9), and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "small but mighty" energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

igb_power_down_link — the girl whose whole job is to power down the phy/serdes link. literally that's it. that's the gig. power it down. 💅🔥

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igb_power_down_link (struct igb_adapter *adapter );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she returns void — meaning she gives you nothing back — and she takes exactly one thing: a pointer to a struct igb_adapter. iconic. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the address of the board private structure. bestie, this is your one and only input, so like… don't fumble it. it's the board private structure's address, periodt. 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this is where it gets main character energy — the SEE ALSO roster is absolutely stacked. first up, the source file she lives in:

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c

and then her entire extended friend group — the full igb cast, no one left out, i checked twice 💖:

lowkey obsessed with how igb_power_up_link(9) is right there in the list too — it's giving duality, it's giving "she powers down so she can power back up" 🧚✨
