pcie_print_link_status(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Hey bestie!! 💖 Welcome to the pcie_print_link_status(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. Buckle up, because this one is short, sweet, and extremely into bandwidth. ✨

💅 NAME 💅

pcie_print_link_status — Report the PCI device's link speed and width. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the signature is literally:

void pcie_print_link_status (struct pci_dev *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — PCI device to query. Yep, that's the one you're asking about. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Report the available bandwidth at the device. That's it. That's the vibe. It's giving "tell me what bandwidth this PCI device has available," and honestly? Iconic. No cap, this function is a tiny little reporter and we respect it. 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/pci/pci.c, bestie.

Now the reference list is long — like, main-character-long. Every single one is right here, no skips, no cuts: 😭

Phew — that's the whole SEE ALSO squad. 😭💀

And that's the cute little sign-off: source/version ./drivers/pci, dated October 2026, filed under pcie_print_link_status(9). Go off and report that bandwidth, bestie! 🫶🎀✨
