ixgbe_clock_out_i2c_bit(9)

💖 ixgbe_clock_out_i2c_bit 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ixgbe_clock_out_i2c_bit — yes that's a whole mouthful, iykyk, but it's literally just one tiny bit-shover in the I2C world and she's kind of iconic for it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_clock_out_i2c_bit — clocks in/out one bit via I2C data/clock 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_clock_out_i2c_bit (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , bool data );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• hw — pointer to hardware structure 👑 (the whole hardware vibe, handed to you)
• data — data value to write ⭐ (the bit you're yeeting out there)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Clocks out one bit via I2C data/clock. That's it, that's the whole thing — one bit, clocked out, no cap 💀✨
