💅 mii_adv_mod_linkmode_adv_t(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for mii_adv_mod_linkmode_adv_t(9). she's a tiny little helper living rent-free in the networking headers and honestly? she understood the assignment. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mii_adv_mod_linkmode_adv_t — and that's literally it, the description slot is empty, which is giving mysterious main character energy ngl 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mii_adv_mod_linkmode_adv_t (unsigned long *advertising , u32 adv );

yeah that's the whole signature. short, sweet, slays 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • advertising — a pointer to the destination link mode. that's where the translated bits land, so she's the one getting edited, periodt ✨
  • adv — the value of the MII_ADVERTISE register. this is the raw source of truth you're feeding in 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this is a small helper function — like, small small — and what she does is translate MII_ADVERTISE bits over to linkmode advertisement settings. that's the whole job 🧚

and the key detail, bestie, do not sleep on it: she leaves other bits unchanged. she only touches what she's supposed to touch. respectful queen behavior 👑🫶
