ksz_get_wol(9)

💖 ksz_get_wol(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay so this is ksz_get_wol from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's literally the little function that goes "hey, is Wake-on-LAN even a thing on this port?" 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ksz_get_wol — literally just get the Wake-on-LAN settings for a specified port. That's it, that's the whole assignment 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ksz_get_wol (struct dsa_switch *ds , int port , struct ethtool_wolinfo *wol );

no cap, that's the whole signature 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ds — the dsa_switch structure. your main character struct, the switch itself 👑
• port — the port number. which port are we talking about, be specific 🍓
• wol — pointer to the ethtool Wake-on-LAN settings structure. this is where the answers land, so hand it over nicely 💌

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: this function checks the device PME wakeup_source flag and the chip_id. that's the vibe check 🔍

if it's enabled and supported, it sets the supported and active WoL flags. and if it's not? it just doesn't, and that's also valid 🙈
