port_get_def_vid(9)

💅 port_get_def_vid — the manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, this is a Kernel API Manual entry, so picture me holding your hand through kernel-land 💖 the function is port_get_def_vid(9) and honestly? it's giving "small but essential." let's go 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

port_get_def_vid — get port default VID. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey iconic for how unbothered it is 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void port_get_def_vid (struct ksz_hw *hw , int port , u16 *vid );

look at that signature. no return value, all vibes 💅 (okay technically void, so it just does the thing and dips).

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — The hardware instance. your main character struct, the whole switch situation 🔥
• port — The port index. which port we're talking about, bestie, keep up 🌈
• vid — Buffer to store the VID. you hand it a place to put the answer, it fills it in. teamwork 💜

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

This routine retrieves the default VID of the port. that's literally the assignment and it ate 💀 no cap, it's a one-job function and it's obsessed with doing that one job.

the way that it just... goes and gets the default VLAN ID for a given port and drops it in your buffer? perfection. periodt. ⭐

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this is the part where the manpage shows off its entire friend group 😭 like genuinely the whole driver. there's a Kernel file involved: ./drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ksz884x.c — and then, well. everybody. all of them. take a breath 🫁💖

not me alphabetizing nothing and just accepting the order the manpage gave me 😭 respecting the source material fr fr 💀

🌟 ok bye ily 🌟

that's the page, bestie!! it lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/micrel, and this edition is dated October 2026 — so when you're reading it, remember me fondly. mwah 💋🫶🍓
