qeth_l2_bridge_setlink(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the qeth_l2_bridge_setlink(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — and it's giving set bridgeport attributes, periodt. That's the name, that's the assignment, no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the signature, verbatim, don't come for me:

int qeth_l2_bridge_setlink (struct net_device *dev , struct nlmsghdr
       *nlh , u16 flags , struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the netdevice, iykyk. That's the struct net_device *.
• nlh — the netlink message header, aka struct nlmsghdr *.
• flags — bridge flags (here: BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF), bestie. That's the u16.
• extack — the extended ACK report struct, a struct netlink_ext_ack *.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Called under rtnl_lock. That's it. That's the description. Short, iconic, and lowkey the whole plot. 💀
