liquidio_set_mac(9)

💅 liquidio_set_mac(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel docs (the Kernel API Manual, to be exact) and you land on liquidio_set_mac. That's the one we're doing today. Buckle up, it's a short one but she's iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

liquidio_set_mac — the net device set_mac_address hook, fr fr. That's literally her whole job description 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int liquidio_set_mac (struct net_device *netdev , void *p );

Like, that's it. Two args, returns an int. Short synopsis, main character energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network device in question. The whole point of the operation, honestly 🫶
• p — an opaque pointer to a sockaddr. Opaque means don't peek inside, bestie, just pass it along 🙈

Lowkey the whole page is just the synopsis and the link list, and honestly? Respect. No filler, no fluff, just vibes and function references 🧚
