ixgbe_get_orom_version(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hiii bestie 💖 welcome to the ixgbe_get_orom_version(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is literally right there, folded in like a lil' name tag ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbe_get_orom_version — Return option ROM from EEPROM. That's the whole name-and-purpose combo, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the signature is literally:

void ixgbe_get_orom_version (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct
       ixgbe_nvm_version *nvm_ver );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — a pointer to hardware structure, aka the hardware's main-character pointer.
  • nvm_ver — a pointer to output structure, where the answer lands.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: if valid option ROM version, nvm_ver->or_valid set to true else nvm_ver->or_valid is false. That's the entire plot. No cap 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
