💖 ixgbe_read_netlist_module(9) — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about ixgbe_read_netlist_module — yes that's a mouthful, yes it's iconic, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_read_netlist_module — literally reads data from the netlist module area. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_read_netlist_module (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , enum
ixgbe_bank_select bank , u32 offset , u16 *data );

she takes four arguments and hands you back an int. no cap. 💅

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. it's the hardware's whole personality, ok?
  • bank — tells you whether to read from the active or inactive module. choose your fighter 🥊
  • offset — offset into the netlist to read from. like a little bookmark inside the netlist 🔖
  • data — storage for the returned word value. this is where the answer lives when it comes home 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Read a word from the specified netlist bank. one word, one bank, very simple, very demure, we love to see it 💖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the exit code of the operation. that's the whole tea — check it, bestie ☕👑
