✨ qeth_bridgeport_query_ports ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about asking your local bridgeport "hey girl, what's your status?" 💅 it's qeth_bridgeport_query_ports, and honestly? she's giving utility icon. 🔥

🌸 NAME 🌸

qeth_bridgeport_query_ports — query local bridgeport status. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int qeth_bridgeport_query_ports (struct qeth_card *card , enum
qeth_sbp_roles *role , enum qeth_sbp_states *state , bool *os_mismatch
);

like, look at that signature. she's organized. she knows what she wants. 💜

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • card — a qeth_card structure pointer, aka the main character of this whole operation. 🌟
  • role — the role of the port, and the vibes are numbered: 0-none, 1-primary, 2-secondary. pick your lane, periodt. 💅
  • state — the state of the port: 0-inactive, 1-standby, 2-active. it's giving traffic light energy ngl. 🚦
  • os_mismatch — if this one is non-NULL, it gets set to true when the firmware reports an OS family mismatch. so like... drama detected, basically. 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does she return? she returns a negative errno-compatible error indication, or 0 on success. no cap. ✨

and also — hardware operation failure. that's a thing that's listed here, so bestie, we're listing it. hardware said no, and that's just how it is sometimes. 😭

fr fr, keep an eye on that negative return value — it's not decorative. 🫶
