phylink_prepare_resume(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual (phylink_prepare_resume(9)) and this one is lowkey a little guy with a big job 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

phylink_prepare_resume — the "get ready to wake up" era for a network device 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void phylink_prepare_resume (struct phylink *pl );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pl — a pointer to a struct phylink that came back from phylink_create. like, the only arg, and it's the one that matters 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function is optional — nobody's forcing you — but if you do call it, it must be called prior to phylink_resume. no cap, that ordering is the whole vibe check 🔥

What it does: it prepares to resume a network device, prepping the PHY as necessary. that's it, that's the whole thing ✨

ngl, "optional but if you call it, call it first" is giving "you don't have to come to the party but if you do, you're coming early" 😭 respect the timeline bestie
