🌸 linkmode_adv_to_mii_10gbt_adv_t(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🌸

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about one tiny helper function that does one tiny job and honestly? we love a focused icon. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

linkmode_adv_to_mii_10gbt_adv_t —

and that's it. that's the description. the dash is just sitting there, empty, main character energy with nothing to say. no cap, the NAME section gave us the function name and then dipped. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 linkmode_adv_to_mii_10gbt_adv_t (unsigned long *advertising );

that's the whole vibe. takes a pointer, gives you a u32. periodt.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • advertising — the linkmode advertisement settings 💖 like, this is the input, this is the whole tea, this pointer is what the function reads from.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so bestie, picture this: it's a small helper function 🧚 and its entire purpose in life is translating linkmode advertisement settings into phy autonegotiation advertisements for the C45 10GBASE-T AN CONTROL (7.32) register. that's it. that's the job. it converts one flav of advertisement into another flav, and it does it slayfully.

ngl it's giving "small but crucial cog in the networking machine" and we stan. ⭐

heads up: it's described as a small helper function — that's the source's own wording, so don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 🙈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the friend group!! look at all these other functions and structures this one hangs out with. all of these are (9) manpage refs, exactly as given, and the first one comes with a kernel file path attached:

like, that's a whole squad. go read them, iykyk. 🦋

and that's the page!! short, sweet, lowkey iconic. 💜

🎀 cute little sign-off: this one lives in ./include/linux, and the manual's dated October 2026. bye bestie, go translate some advertisements ✨👑
