💖 phylink_get_eee_err(9) 💖

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for phylink_get_eee_err. It’s giving “tiny function, very specific job” energy, and honestly? iconic. 🦋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

phylink_get_eee_err — read the Energy Efficient Ethernet error counter. periodt. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int phylink_get_eee_err (struct phylink *pl );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• pl — a pointer to a struct phylink returned from phylink_create. that’s the whole vibe. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically, this reads the Energy Efficient Ethernet error counter from the PHY associated with the phylink instance specified by pl. no cap.

It returns the positive error counter value, or a negative error code. that’s the tea. 😭🔥
