usb4_port_index(9)
π usb4_port_index β Kernel API Manual energy β¨
Okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for usb4_port_index(9) β yes that's the manual name, we're in the Kernel API Manual section, and honestly? iconic. π
πΈ NAME πΈ
usb4_port_index β finds the matching USB4 port index, no cap π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int usb4_port_index (const struct tb_switch *sw , const struct tb_port
*port );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
swβ the USB4 router π«Ά like, the switch itself, your main characterportβ a USB4 protocol adapter or a lane adapter, either one works, we don't gatekeep π
π DESCRIPTION π
So the way this works is: usb4_port_index finds the matching USB4 port index β and yes, that count starts from 0, bestie, zero-indexed as always β for the port you handed it, aka the one that your given port goes through. That's the whole vibe. Find the index, match the port, slay. β¨
