ixgbe_check_link_e610(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_check_link_e610(9) — literally the moment you've been waiting for. this function is giving main character energy and we're about to break it down, no cap. it's all about figuring out if your link is up and what speed it's running at, using the ACI command 0x0607. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_check_link_e610 - Determine link and speed status

like, it's literally the function that tells you if your link is up and what speed it's running at. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_check_link_e610 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , ixgbe_link_speed *speed
, bool *link_up , bool link_up_wait_to_complete );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. like, the actual hardware vibe check.
  • speed — pointer to link speed. where the speed gets written, bestie.
  • link_up — true when link is up. literally the boolean tea.
  • link_up_wait_to_complete — bool used to wait for link up or not. so you can decide if you wanna wait around or not, iykyk.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Determine if the link is up and the current link speed using ACI command (0x0607). that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "quick status check" energy and we're obsessed.

💅 RETURN 💅

the exit code of the operation. so like, it returns an int that tells you how it went. no cap.
