ixgbe_get_phy_type_from_id(9)

💅 ixgbe_get_phy_type_from_id — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so real talk, this whole page lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one (1) very specific little function. Buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_get_phy_type_from_id — literally just "get the phy type". That's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ixgbe_phy_type ixgbe_get_phy_type_from_id (u32 phy_id );

So it hands you back an enum ixgbe_phy_type, and you feed it a u32 phy_id. That's it. That's the whole relationship. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phy_id — the hardware phy id. like, the actual hardware one, not a made-up one, iykyk 👑

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

First up, the home base — this function lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_phy.c 🏡
