phy_print_status(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to phy_print_status(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the convenience function to print out the current phy status. No cap, that's literally the whole job: you got a phy, you want its status printed, and this function is the bestie who handles it. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void phy_print_status (struct phy_device *phydev );

it's giving void — aka nothing comes back, bestie — and it takes one struct phy_device * named phydev. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phydev — the phy_device struct. That's the phy device you're handing over so its current status can get printed. 🦋
