ixgbe_write_..._generic_int(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbe_write_i2c_combined_generic_int — this is the Kernel API Manual page for her, and bestie, her whole entire job is: perform I2C write combined operation. That's it, that's the vibe. She writes, she combines, she's an I2C girlie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_write_i2c_combined_generic_int (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u8 addr
, u16 reg , u16 val , bool lock );

She returns an int, she takes five things, and no she will not be elaborating in the synopsis. Rude? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely. 👑

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. Yes the whole hardware struct. She said "give me everything" and honestly? Respect.
  • addr — the I2C bus address to write to. Like a little street address but for silicon. 🏠
  • reg — the I2C device register to write to. The specific lil drawer inside that address.
  • val — value to write. The actual payload, the main character of this whole operation ngl.
  • lock — true if to take and release semaphore. Say true and she grabs the semaphore and lets it go like a polite queen. 🚦

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns an error code on error.

That's the whole description. No lore, no essay, no extra paragraphs — she's lowkey mysterious like that. If something goes wrong you get an error code back, and if it doesn't you don't. Periodt. 💀

Heads up bestie: the manpage literally just says "Returns an error code on error." So don't come for me asking which codes, because the page does not say and I will not be inventing them. 🙈

And now the full friend group, the whole group chat, every single one of them, no cap — I would never leave a single mutual out:

🌷 okay that's the whole page, every crumb of it, nothing skipped, nothing invented 🌷

And a cute lil sign-off before you go: this page ships from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (that's the truncated path from the footer, fr fr, I'm not gonna guess the rest) and it's dated October 2026, manual section 9, name ixgbe_write_..._generic_int(9). Bye bestie, go write some I2C bytes 💖✨🎀🦋
