πŸ’– pch_gbe_get_pauseparam(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for pch_gbe_get_pauseparam β€” yes that's a whole mouthful, i know, but it's fine, we're gonna get through it together 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

pch_gbe_get_pauseparam β€” report pause parameters πŸ“‹

like, it literally just tells you what the pause parameters are. that's the whole vibe. no cap.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pch_gbe_get_pauseparam (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       ethtool_pauseparam *pause );

note the void β€” this one does not hand anything back to you, it just fills stuff in. main character behavior honestly πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • netdev β€” the network interface device structure πŸ–§ like, the whole device, the icon itself
  • pause β€” the pause parameters structure ⏸️ this is the one that gets the info dropped into it, iykyk

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

first up, the kernel file where this little legend lives:

./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_ethtool.c

and the whole friend group of related functions, all of them, no gatekeeping:

notice pch_gbe_set_pauseparam(9) sitting right there next to its getter sibling β€” the duality of ethernet tooling, we love to see it 😭✨

fr fr though, if you're ever poking around pch_gbe_ethtool.c, this is the getter half of the pause-param duo. don't mix them up bestie πŸ’€

and that's the whole page!! tysm for reading my little kernel lore dump, hope it slayed πŸŽ€

sign-off time: this iconic little page comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... (the path got cutely truncated, that's just how the footer rolls), stamped October 2026, and it's filed under the name pch_gbe_get_pauseparam(9). periodt. πŸ’œπŸŒˆβ­
