STRUCT IONIC_PORT_IDENTIFY_COMP(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct ionic_port_identify_comp(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is struct ionic_port_identify_comp β€” literally the completion struct for the port identify command πŸ’… it's small, it's iconic, it's doing the most with the least, and honestly? obsessed 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ionic_port_identify_comp β€” the Port identify command completion πŸ’– no cap, that is the whole job description.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact shape of it, bestie β€” do not come for me about the spacing, this is verbatim πŸŽ€

struct ionic_port_identify_comp {
    u8 status;
    u8 ver;
    u8 rsvd[14];
 };

like, look at her. three fields. one of them is just vibes (rsvd, we'll get there) and the struct still ate πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • status β€” the Status of the command (it's an enum ionic_status_code, iykyk) β€” basically the receipt telling you how the identify went πŸ’€
  • ver β€” the Version of identify returned by the device ✨ so the hardware is the one handing you this number, not you, not me, the device 🌈
  • rsvd β€” reserved byte(s) πŸ™ˆ literally just reserved space, nothing to see here, don't touch, don't read into it, she's booked and busy being a placeholder πŸ’œ

bestie that's a lot of cross-references and yes, every single one of them is here. we do not gatekeep the squad πŸ’œ

okay that's the whole page!! she lives in the kernel at ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_if.h, and this little slice of documentation is dated October 2026 β€” so when you see this page, just know it was served fresh with love. slay, go identify some ports, periodt βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ’–
