velocity_mii_ioctl(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to velocity_mii_ioctl(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual — aka the MII ioctl handler page. She's short, she's useful, and she's about to make ioctl requests make sense. 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

velocity_mii_ioctl — the MII ioctl handler. That's the whole name, and yes she ate. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int velocity_mii_ioctl (struct net_device *dev , struct ifreq *ifr , int cmd );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the network device. Like, the network device we're working with, bestie. 🫶
• ifr — the ifreq block for the ioctl. This is the ifreq block carrying the ioctl request. 💌
• cmd — the command. Literally the command. No cap. 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

Okay so what does she actually do? velocity_mii_ioctl processes MII requests made via ioctl from the network layer. These are the requests tools like kudzu use to interrogate the link state of the hardware — basically a link-state vibe check for the hardware. 🦋🔥
