igb_setup_tctl(9)
π igb_setup_tctl(9) β the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense
okay so bestie, welcome to igb_setup_tctl(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual β¨ this is the little function that handles the transmit control registers β like, it's the one who does the TCTL glow-up so your packets can actually go out. no cap, it's a whole vibe. π¦
πΈ NAME πΈ
igb_setup_tctl β configure the transmit control registers π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void igb_setup_tctl (struct igb_adapter *adapter );
she returns nothing (void, we love a low-maintenance icon) and she takes exactly one thing. periodt. π
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the board private structure. yeah that's it. that's the whole argument. it's giving "one job and she ate" π
ngl if you're staring at this like "wait, is that really all?" β yes bestie, that's really all. adapter is the board private structure, full stop. π
π SEE ALSO π
okay this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral with the cross-references and honestly? iconic. π

okay and finally, the cute little sign-off at the bottom of the page β this one's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026, and it belongs to igb_setup_tctl(9) π catch you in the next manpage, bestie π§β¨
