ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is right there near the top, no cap 💅. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx — Set and restart autoneg. That's the whole name vibe, bestie. 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. That's the hardware struct you're handing over, periodt. 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This one restarts autonegotiation and the PHY and waits for completion. ⏳ Like, do the thing, then wait for it to finish.

It always returns success. Not a typo, not me being delulu — this is necessary because it is called via a function pointer that could call other functions that could return an error. So success is literally the whole return deal here. 💅
