igb_write_phy_reg_i2c(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to igb_write_phy_reg_i2c(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're doing kernel networking today and it's lowkey iconic. The name is literally:

igb_write_phy_reg_i2c — write PHY register using i2c. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the exact signature, no cap — keep the commas and spacing, they're canon:

s32 igb_write_phy_reg_i2c (struct e1000_hw *hw , u32 offset , u16 data
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. literally the hardware struct you're handing over.
  • offset — register offset to write to.
  • data — data to write at register offset.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do? it writes the data to the PHY register at the offset using the i2c interface. that's the whole main character moment, fr fr. 💅✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file to peek at is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/e1000_phy.c — that's the one, bestie. and here's the whole friend group:
