phylink_etht...t_pauseparam(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is phylink_ethtool_get_pauseparam — the lil function that grabs the current pause parameters for you 💅 like it literally just goes and fetches the pause tea, no cap. it's from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and yes the header is a whole mouthful: phylink_etht...t_pauseparam(9). iconic, slightly cursed, we move 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void phylink_ethtool_get_pauseparam (struct phylink *pl , struct
ethtool_pauseparam *pause );

like look at her go, she's a void so she returns nothing back to you — she just fills in your struct and vibes ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pl — a pointer to a struct phylink that came from phylink_create 🫶 that's your phylink handle bestie, the whole link situation, treat her right.
• pause — a pointer to a struct ethtool_pauseparam 💖 this is the lil container she's gonna fill up with the current pause params. it's giving vessel energy, it's giving "hold my data" 🎀
