mii_lpa_mod_linkmode_lpa_t(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

mii_lpa_mod_linkmode_lpa_t — bestie, that's the whole name, the manpage literally left it blank so we're all just vibing with the function name itself ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mii_lpa_mod_linkmode_lpa_t (unsigned long *lp_advertising , u32 lpa
);

okay so she takes two things and returns absolutely nothing, she's a void girlie, no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lp_advertising — the docs literally say -- undescribed -- 😭 the manpage said "figure it out yourself bestie". It's an unsigned long *, that's what we know, that's what we're working with 🙈
  • lpa — also -- undescribed -- 💀 a u32, mysterious icon, main character energy, we love a little enigma
lowkey the docs didn't describe these two and I'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there, fr fr 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the way that this works: she's a small helper function 🧚 that translates MII_LPA bits over to linkmode LP advertisement settings — but only when you're in 1000Base-T mode 👑

The key detail, the one you cannot miss: she leaves other bits unchanged ⭐ so anything outside the 1000Base-T situation just... stays exactly as it was. No surprise rewrites, no sneaky edits, she's respectful like that 🎀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the whole friend group, the entire group chat, all of them (9)-section icons 👑✨

and they all live in the Kernel file ./include/linux/mii.h 🐝 iykyk

okay that's the page bestie 💜 she's shipped from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and she answers to the name mii_lpa_mod_linkmode_lpa_t(9) — go forth and translate those bits 🫶🌈⭐
