STRUCT IONIC_PORT_GETATTR_CMD(9)

✨ struct ionic_port_getattr_cmd ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — the manual name is literally struct ioni..._getattr_cmd(9) if you're being formal about it 💅 — and it's all about one lil struct that grabs port attributes off your NIC. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ionic_port_getattr_cmd — literally just get port attributes from the NIC. that's it. that's the mission 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie, here's the whole struct laid out, character for character, do not touch:

struct ionic_port_getattr_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
    u8 index;
    u8 attr;
    u8 rsvd[61];
 };

---

💖 Members 💖

these are the fields, and yes every single one matters:

• opcode — the opcode 👑 like, the "what am I even doing" byte.
• index — the port index 🔢 tells you which port we're talking about.
• attr — the attribute type, and it's an enum ionic_port_attr in case you were wondering iykyk.
• rsvd — reserved byte(s) 🙈 just… let them be reserved, ok? don't touch.

so many cross-references, it's giving main character energy. first up, the kernel file itself:
