qed_mcp_get_media_type(9)
π qed_mcp_get_media_type(9) β from the Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the kernel and this one's a lil cutie. This is a manual page for qed_mcp_get_media_type, and it does exactly what it says on the tin: it grabs the media type value of the port. That's it. That's the whole gig. Iconic, honestly. π
β¨ NAME β¨
qed_mcp_get_media_type β Get media type value of the port.
Like, the port's media type. The vibe of the physical connection. You're welcome. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int qed_mcp_get_media_type (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt
*p_ptt , u32 *media_type );
Three args, one int back. No drama, no cap. β¨
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
p_hwfnβ HW device data. Your hardware's whole lil personality file, basically.p_pttβ P_ptt. Yeah. That's the description. It's giving "minimum effort, maximum mystery" but that's literally what the page says, so we move. πmedia_typeβ Media type value. This is where the answer goes, so hand it a pointer and let it cook. π₯
π RETURN π
It hands back an int, and there are exactly two moods:
0β Operation was successul. (their spelling, not mine, bestie π)-EBUSYβ Operation failed.
So like, zero means slay, -EBUSY means nope. π«Ά

That's the whole group chat, bestie. iykyk. π
ngl the "P_ptt" description is doing zero work up there, but I refuse to invent lore about it. Facts are facts. π
