📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nfp_eth_set_pauseparam(9) 💅

okay so bestie, buckle up — this one's from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely iconic in a nerdy way. we're flipping the TX/RX pause switches on an NFP ethernet port. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nfp_eth_set_pauseparam — Set TX/RX pause switch.

like literally that's it, that's the job. two little switches, one call, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nfp_eth_set_pauseparam (struct nfp_cpp *cpp , unsigned int idx ,
       unsigned int tx_pause , unsigned int rx_pause );

four args, one int coming back at you. main character energy tbh ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cpp — the NFP CPP handle. your lil passport to the chip, y'know? iykyk 🪪
  • idx — the NFP chip-wide port index. which port are we talking to, bestie? 👀
  • tx_pause — the TX pause switch. transmit side, slay 💜
  • rx_pause — the RX pause switch. receive side, also slay 💜

🌸 RETURN 🌸

  • 0 — configuration successful 🎉 ate and left no crumbs
  • 1 — no changes were needed 😌 the switches were already switching, we love an efficient queen
  • -ERRNO — configuration failed 😭 something went off, check the errno for the deets
fr fr, 1 is not an error, it's just "bestie we were already there". don't panic 💀
