📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ixgbe_blink_led_start_generic(9) — yes the title got squished in that header line but we're being cute about it now. This is a real-deal kernel function page, so grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_blink_led_start_generic — Blink LED based on index.

fr fr, that's the whole pitch: it starts the blink, and which LED gets to go ✨glow mode✨ depends on the index you hand it. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_blink_led_start_generic (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 index );

it's giving "small signature, big LED energy" 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. this is your main character 🫶 — the struct ixgbe_hw you're working with.
  • index — led number to blink. literally which LED you're telling to sparkle, bestie. ⭐
