ksz9477_dump_acl_index(9)

✨ ksz9477_dump_acl_index — bestie's guide to the ACL print 💅

okay so this one lives in section 9 of the kernel API manual, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ksz9477_dump_acl_index — prints the ACL entry sitting at whatever index you point it at. iconic behavior, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ksz9477_dump_acl_index (struct ksz_device *dev , struct
ksz9477_acl_entry *acle , int index );

like, that's the whole vibe. three args, one int back. periodt ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — pointer to the ksz9477 device structure. this is your main character, the switch you're working with 💖
• acle — pointer to the ACL entry array. this is where all the entries live, bestie. lowkey the whole point 🍓
• index — the index of the ACL entry to print. pick a number, any number (well, a valid one) 🧚

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does it actually DO? it prints out the details of an ACL entry — specifically the one chillin' at a particular index inside the ksz9477 device's ACL table. super straightforward, super useful.

but here's the cute part: it omits printing entries that are empty. like, it does a vibe check first. empty entry? not invited to the print party 🙈. only the ones with actual content get printed, and that's exactly how it should be. we love a function with standards 💅

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 1 if the entry is non-empty and actually got printed ✅
• 0 otherwise (i.e. it was empty, so nothing was printed) 💀

fr fr, that's the whole return contract. simple, clean, readable.
