octep_ctrl_n...et_link_info(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is octep_ctrl_n...et_link_info(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the function itself is octep_ctrl_net_get_link_info — and it does exactly what it says: get link info from firmware. ✨ No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int octep_ctrl_net_get_link_info (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid ,
       struct octep_iface_link_info *link_info );

That's the whole signature, bestie — copy it exactly and you're golden. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oct — non-null pointer to struct octep_device. It's giving "you gotta pass this" energy.
• vfid — Index of virtual function. Lowkey just the VF number.
• link_info — non-null pointer to struct octep_iface_link_info. This is where the link info lands. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the return value is literally: 0 on success, -errno on failure. That's the whole mood. 😭
