linkmode_adv_to_lcl_adv_t(9)

💅 linkmode_adv_to_lcl_adv_t(9) — from the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, before we even start: the NAME section on this one is literally blank. like, the manpage gave us nothing 😭 the name's linkmode_adv_to_lcl_adv_t and that's the whole vibe. no tagline, no subtitle, nothing. she's mysterious like that 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

this is the whole shape of her, no cap:

u32 linkmode_adv_to_lcl_adv_t (const unsigned long *advertising );

that's it. that's the girl. returns a u32, takes one pointer, and we're done. so clean, so slay 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• advertising — a pointer to linkmode advertising. that's the whole input. that's what you hand her, and she does her little translation thing with it ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so fr fr, this is a small helper function — like the tiniest little bridge on duty 💖 — and what she does is translate linkmode advertising into LVL pause capabilities. that's the entire personality. small function, big purpose, main character energy honestly 👑

🎀 reminder: she's a helper, so don't come at her expecting a whole ethtool saga. she converts, she returns, she leaves.
