STRUCT PHYLINK(9)

✨ NAME ✨

struct phylink — the internal data type for phylink, bestie 💅

okay so real talk, this is one of those man pages that's like... the concept of a struct, you know? It's the internal data type for phylink, and that's the whole vibe. It's giving "the main character hasn't made her entrance yet" energy 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct phylink {
};

that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap 💀

---

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so this is the part where you'd expect a whole glossary of members and honestly? There aren't any listed here. The struct is literally just vibes and empty braces right now. Not me refreshing the page like there's gonna be more 😭

lowkey important though: this is the manual page as documented, so if you were hoping for a rundown of every field, there isn't one here to give you. Don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🫶

that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and structurally empty in the most iconic way possible 🧚💜
