t4_get_port_..._description(9)

💅 t4_get_port_type_description(9) — the kernel API glow-up

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're diving into the Kernel API Manual for t4_get_port_type_description(9) and honestly? it's a short one but she ate. ✨

🌸 NAME

t4_get_port_type_description — literally just hands you the Port Type string description. that's it. that's the whole gig. iconic behavior. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS

const char * t4_get_port_type_description (enum fw_port_type port_type
);

so you call her with one arg, and she gives you back a const char *. no cap. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• port_type — the firmware Port Type enumeration, aka the little enum value you're feeding in so she knows which port type you're asking about 🫶

💅 SEE ALSO

okay so this is the part where the manpage just keeps going and honestly it's giving "group chat with 200 members and everyone's typing." but every single one of these is a real sibling function you can go look up, so let's list them all, fr fr 🌈
