txgbe_open(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the txgbe_open(9) page — yes, it's giving Kernel API Manual energy 💅

txgbe_open — called when a network interface is made active. That's the whole name vibe, and it's lowkey iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int txgbe_open (struct net_device *netdev );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — network interface device structure. That's the one and only argument, bestie, no cap.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It returns 0 on success, and a negative value on failure. Periodt. So if you see a negative value, that's the function saying "nope, didn't slay this time" 😭

The open entry point is called when a network interface is made active by the system (IFF_UP). That's the main character moment right there — the system brings the interface up, and txgbe_open gets the call ✨
