💅 phy_ethtool_get_plca_status 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for phy_ethtool_get_plca_status(9) — yes the title is also the name, that's just how these pages roll, slay 💖

✨ NAME ✨

phy_ethtool_get_plca_status — get PLCA RS status information. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int phy_ethtool_get_plca_status (struct phy_device *phydev , struct
phy_plca_status *plca_st );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • phydev — the phy_device struct 🫶 literally the PHY device we're talking to.
  • plca_st — where to store the retrieved status information 💾 like, this is the lil container your status info gets dropped into, no cap.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Retrieve the PLCA status information from the PHY 🔥 that's the whole mission, bestie.

It returns 0 on success, or a negative value if an error occurred 😭 so like, do a vibe check on that return value, okay? peek at it. be responsible.

ngl, "negative value" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here — it's not telling you which negative value, just that something went sideways. so check, don't assume 💀
