t4_get_version_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ t4_get_version_info ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely the most "let me just quietly gather all the lore" function ever 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

t4_get_version_info — extract various chip/firmware version information

like literally it goes and pulls all the version receipts off the chip/firmware situation, no cap 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int t4_get_version_info (struct adapter *adapter );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — the adapter. that's it, that's the whole argument, she just wants the adapter 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: t4_get_version_info reads a bunch of various chip/firmware version numbers and stores them all into the adapter's Adapter Parameters structure. it's giving "collect every single version number and tuck them somewhere safe" energy ✨

and if any of those efforts fails — like, literally any one of them — the first failure will be returned. but hear me out: it doesn't bail early. all of the version numbers will still be read. so you get every number and the first error, because she's thorough like that 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file where all this lives, in all its glory:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/t4_hw.c

and now, the entire friend group, because obviously this function knows everyone:

okay and before you go — the little footer era 🎀 the source/version is that truncated path <pink>./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio...</pink> and the date is October 2026, which is honestly so on brand for a page that refuses to spell out the whole path. anyway ily, go read your version numbers bestie 💜🦋
