igc_rar_set(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… igc_rar_set β€” the Kernel API Manual moment πŸŽ€

Okay so bestie, welcome to igc_rar_set (section 9 of the kernel API manual, iykyk) β€” the little function that handles one specific receive address slot and honestly? It's giving quiet main character energy. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS

void igc_rar_set (struct igc_hw *hw , u8 *addr , u32 index );

No return value, no drama β€” it's a void. It just does the thing and leaves. Periodt. πŸ’…


🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • hw β€” pointer to the HW structure. Your hardware bestie, the whole context you're working with. 🫢
  • addr β€” pointer to the receive address. This is the address you're putting in. It's a u8 *, so like, bytes, bestie. 🌈
  • index β€” the receive address array register. Which slot in the array we're messing with. Pick your fighter. ⭐

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION

So here's the whole vibe: igc_rar_set sets the receive address array register at index to the address passed in by addr. That's it. That's the function. One slot, one address, no cap. πŸ’€

Lowkey iconic in its simplicity β€” it's not out here trying to be anything it isn't. It takes the hw structure, it takes the addr you hand it, it takes the index you want, and it makes the register match. Clean, focused, done. πŸ‘‘
