pch_gbe_get_drvinfo(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 pch_gbe_get_drvinfo(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the (9) is giving "section nine, kernel internals, very serious business" ✨) and honestly? it's a short one, so let's just vibe through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pch_gbe_get_drvinfo — the little guy whose whole job is reporting driver information. that's it. that's the whole gig 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void pch_gbe_get_drvinfo (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       ethtool_drvinfo *drvinfo );

so it returns void (nothing back, no cap, it just does the thing) and it takes two struct pointers. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • netdev — the network interface device structure. the whole network-interface moment, literally the main character of the args 🌈
  • drvinfo — the driver information structure. this is where the info goes, iykyk 💖

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the kernel file where this lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_ethtool.c

and then the whole friend group of related functions, all of them (9), all of them in the same vibe:

like, look at all those get_/set_ pairs — it's giving organised, it's giving consistent naming conventions, we love to see it 🍓

ngl there aren't any options, defaults, exit statuses or warnings on this page — it's a tiny one, and that's literally fine. sometimes less is more, bestie 💜

and that's the page! 🧚 source/version is the path ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... (yes it's truncated in the footer, that's just how it's printed, don't come for me 😭) and the date on this whole thing is October 2026 ⭐ so mark your calendars, periodt 💅🎀
