💅 phy_get_eee_err — a whole manual page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, keep up 💖), and it's all about phy_get_eee_err. Say it with me: phy-get-eee-err. Iconic. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

phy_get_eee_err — the little function whose entire job is to report the EEE wake error count. that's it. that's the whole gig. and honestly? slay. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int phy_get_eee_err (struct phy_device *phydev );

literally just that. no cap. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • phydev — the target phy_device struct. this is the PHY you're asking about, the main character of this whole operation 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it do? it reports the number of times the PHY failed to complete its normal wake sequence. that's it. that's the tea. ☕

like, EEE goes to sleep, then it's supposed to wake up all cute and normal, and sometimes it... doesn't 😭 and this function literally exists to tell you how many times that little flop happened. we love a function with a single, clear purpose. periodt. 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie this list is long long, so grab a snack 🍓 — but every single one of these is a real friend of the family, so here we go:

no skips, no "etc." — we list everybody in this friend group, because nobody gets left out 💖

and that's the whole page!! 🎀✨

cute little sign-off time: this one lives in the source/version ./drivers/net/phy, dated October 2026, and it's page phy_get_eee_err(9) of the Kernel API Manual. go forth and count those wake errors, bestie 🦋💜
