octep_ctrl_n...et_link_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the octep_ctrl_n...et_link_info(9) page ✨ the header got chopped in the middle (octep_ctrl_n...et_link_info) but that's just the man page name being cute and mysterious, the actual function is the icon below, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

octep_ctrl_net_set_link_info — sets the link info up in firmware. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int octep_ctrl_net_set_link_info (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid ,
       struct octep_iface_link_info *link_info , bool wait_for_response );

here's the whole squad in one line, no cap 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • oct — a non-null pointer</> to struct octep_device. literally cannot be null, bestie, that's the whole vibe check 🙈
  • vfid — the index of the virtual function. which VF we're talking about, iykyk 💜
  • link_info — a non-null pointer</> to struct octep_iface_link_info. yes, also non-null. both pointers are non-null. the man page said it twice so i'm saying it twice 🫶
  • wait_for_response — poll for response. it's a bool, so it's giving "yes queen, wait" or "no ma'am, we're not waiting" ⭐

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the return value is the whole tea, so let me spill it: 0 on success, -errno on failure. that's the description. that's literally it. no extra lore, no hidden side quests 💀

ngl this is the shortest description section i've ever seen and honestly? iconic. main character energy in how little it needs to say 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file that owns all this lore lives right here:

./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep/octep_ctrl_net.h

and here's the whole group chat of sibling functions, all friends of octep_ctrl_net_set_link_info, all slaying in their own way 💅✨

go read all of them, i'm obsessed with a completionist queen 🌸🧚

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 this came from the source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and it's dated October 2026, so like... futuristic manpage but make it fashion 💜👑 bye bestie, go set that link info 🦋
