💅 ixgbe_get_phy_id — GET THE PHY TYPE BESTIE ✨

okay so real talk, this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlies only 💜), and honestly? It's a little one. A tiny icon. But she does her job and she does it flawlessly. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_get_phy_id — get the phy type

no cap, that's the whole pitch. She goes and gets you the phy type. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_get_phy_id (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

look at her. one argument. returns an int. lowkey elegant if you think about it 😭

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. yeah that's it, that's the whole thing, she just needs a pointer to the hardware structure and she's off to the races, main character energy fr fr 👑

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

okay so this is the part where I need you to sit down and hydrate first 🍓 because this list is long long. Like, ixgbe has a LOT of friends and she is NOT leaving a single one out of the group chat. Every single one of these is a real reference, bestie, copy them exactly:

like. sixty-four whole friends. she's an extrovert, she's a connector, she's the networking girlie literally (net driver pun fully intended 💀). iykyk. 🔥

ok and before you go — one thing: that source path up there got cut off with ... in the original, so don't @ me, that's just how it came out the box. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! short and sweet, just like her 💖 go forth and get that phy type. mwah. 🧚✨
