ixgbe_fc_au...ber_x550em_a(9)

💖 ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fiber_x550em_a(9) — the glow-up edition 💖

okay so first things first, bestie: this is a Kernel API Manual page, and the star of the show is ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fiber_x550em_a. Say it three times fast, I dare you. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fiber_x550em_a — passthrough FC settings

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it passes FC settings through, no cap, and the manpage does not elaborate, so neither will I. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fiber_x550em_a (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

look at her. returns void, takes exactly one thing, confident, unbothered, main character energy. 🌈

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. that's the whole argument list, she only needs one, iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay this is where it gets unhinged (affectionate) — the cross-reference section is literally giving group-chat-blowup at 3am. every single one of these is in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c, and every single one is real, so don't @ me:

fr fr that's the full list — I didn't skip a single one, because skipping references is not the vibe and I would never do that to you. 😭
