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

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's lowkey one of those tiny helper functions that eats and never misses ✨ it's giving "small but mighty" and honestly we stan a humble bitshuffler 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mii_adv_to_ethtool_adv_t — ngl the original page leaves this bit blank bestie, so there's literally no tagline here 😭 the function name IS the personality, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 mii_adv_to_ethtool_adv_t (u32 adv );

like yes that's the whole signature, she's short and she knows it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adv — the value of the MII_ADVERTISE register. that's it, that's the whole input, you hand her the raw register bits and she does her thing 🦋

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so picture this: it's a small helper function, and what she does is translate. specifically she takes the bits sitting in MII_ADVERTISE and turns them into ethtool advertisement settings 🔥 that's the whole job. bits in, ethtool-flavoured bits out. no cap, that's literally it — she's the little translator bestie standing between the MII world and the ethtool world and she's slaying at it 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐
