octep_ctrl_n..._link_status(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the octep_ctrl_net_get_link_status(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖. This is the one that gets the link status from firmware — yes, it literally asks firmware what’s up with the link, no cap.

octep_ctrl_net_get_link_status — get link status from firmware.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int octep_ctrl_net_get_link_status (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oct — non-null pointer to struct octep_device. Like, the page says non-null, so do not come in here with a null pointer, bestie 😭.
• vfid — index of virtual function.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This section is short and iconic: the return value is the link status, with 0=down and 1=up. That’s the whole vibe ✨.

okay that’s the whole page, ily 🫶💅. Cute little sign-off: the footer’s source/version bit says ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and the date is October 2026 — and yeah, the truncated title octep_ctrl_n..._link_status(9) is hanging out down there too. byeee 🎀✨
