ixgbe_x550em...us_write_c45(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c45 — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, this page is literally called ixgbe_x550em...us_write_c45(9) in the header because somebody's terminal was too tiny to fit the whole thing, and honestly? relatable. the actual full name is down below, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c45 — she writes a clause 45 register on x550em_a. that's the whole job. that's her whole personality. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_x550em_a_mii_bus_write_c45 (struct mii_bus *bus , int addr ,
int devad , int regnum , u16 val );

like, five things go in, an int comes out. it's giving function signature realness 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • bus — pointer to mii_bus structure, and that structure points to our driver private. yes bestie, it's a pointer to a thing that points to a thing. we love a chain 👑
  • addr — the address. that's it, that's the whole description, she's mysterious like that 🙈
  • devad — device address to read. (the manpage says "to read", even though this is a write function — i don't make the rules, i just report them faithfully, okay? 🫶)
  • regnum — register number, the little coordinates of where the value goes 🎯
  • val — value to write, a u16 of pure potential ⭐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

this list is long long, like the group chat when someone asks "what did i miss". but every single one is here because i would never do you like that 💜

yeah. all 64 of them. i counted. you're welcome 🫶✨

and that's the page!! mwah 💋

so like, source is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the footer cuts it off, tragic, i know 😭) and it's dated October 2026, and the whole thing lives under ixgbe_x550em...us_write_c45(9) in the Kernel API Manual. slay, bye bestie 🎀💖🌈
