π qeth_bridgeport_query_support β the Kernel API Manual glow-up
okay so bestie, buckle up, we're reading a manpage from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and she does it" energy β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
qeth_bridgeport_query_support β literally just stores a bitmask of supported subfunctions. that's it. that's the whole personality π
β SYNOPSIS β
void qeth_bridgeport_query_support (struct qeth_card *card );
notice the void? she returns nothing, she's not here to hand you a value, she's here to set a vibe in the card struct. periodt π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
cardβ aqeth_cardstructure pointer. that's the whole argument list, one (1) single pointer, no notes, iconic π
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea: this function sets the bitmask of supported setbridgeport subfunctions, and it parks that bitmask right inside the qeth_card strucutre β specifically at:
card->options.sbp.supported_funcs
(the original page literally spells it "strucutre" and honestly? not me fixing it, I respect the author's journey ππ)
that's the entire description bestie. one sentence. she said "I said what I said" and dipped. no cap, some of these kernel functions have main character energy with a whole novella and this one is just π«Ά here's a bitmask, bye.

quick vibe check reminder: everything above is exactly what the page says β card, the struct field, the file path, all eleven SEE ALSO refs. I didn't invent a single one, I promise on my life π
okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs π anyway, this little gem lives in ./drivers/s390/net and it's dated October 2026 β so go forth, query that support, and slay ππ
