velocity_get_opt_media_mode(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to velocity_get_opt_media_mode(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally here to get media selection. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 velocity_get_opt_media_mode (struct velocity_info *vptr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vptr — the velocity adapter, aka the main character you're passing in 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this function grabs the media mode that's stored in EEPROM or in the module options, then loads mii_status to match it accordingly. it also returns the requested link state information, so you get that info back too — iconic behavior, honestly ✨
