💖 ixgbevf_get_link_state_vf(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is about ixgbevf_get_link_state_vf, and honestly it's giving “small function, big kernel energy”. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

• ixgbevf_get_link_state_vf — Get VF link state from PF. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 ixgbevf_get_link_state_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , bool *link_state );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. That's the hardware vibe check, periodt.
• link_state — link state storage. It's where the link state goes, bestie. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns the state of the operation: error or success. That's literally it — the function reports whether the operation came back as an error or as success. No cap. ✨
