phy_rate_matching_to_str(9)

💅 phy_rate_matching_to_str(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, poking at PHYs, and you need to say out loud what kind of rate matching you're looking at. That's the whole gig. Welcome to the group chat 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

phy_rate_matching_to_str — literally just returns a string that describes the rate matching 💖

no cap, that's it. that's the function.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * phy_rate_matching_to_str (int rate_matching );

like… it takes an int and hands you back a const char *. simple. iconic. main character energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rate_matching — the type of rate matching you want described, bestie. that's the vibe check input 💅

ngl, this page is short and sweet — the whole plot is "give me a string for this rate matching type." no twists, no jump scares, just vibes 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie 💜 this little gem comes from ./drivers/net/phy, dated October 2026 — go drink some water and go read a PHY datasheet, you absolute legend 🍓🧚
