wx_set_mta(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– wx_set_mta(9) β€” the kernel API manual, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we're in wx_set_mta(9) territory β€” this is a Kernel API Manual page, and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a lil bite-sized function. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

wx_set_mta β€” sets the bit-vector in the multicast table πŸ’…

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. it sets the bit-vector. in the multicast table. slay.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void wx_set_mta (struct wx *wx , u8 *mc_addr );

look at her. returns void, takes two args, no notes. iconic behavior fr fr 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • wx β€” pointer to private structure. yes it's just called wx, we love a self-titled queen πŸ‘‘
  • mc_addr β€” the multicast address. that's the u8 * bestie, don't lose her 🌈

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it do? it sets the bit-vector in the multicast table. that's the whole arc. no plot twist, no extra lore, no hidden chapter β€” she does exactly one (1) thing and she does it well. main character energy honestly πŸ’œ

like the desc is short but that's because the function is short?? lowkey the most honest manpage ever written. no cap ✨


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

okay this is where it gets SPICY β€” the list is long long, so buckle up bestie, we're going on a journey through the wangxun driver πŸš—πŸ’¨

first up, the kernel file herself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_hw.c

and now, the whole friend group (in order, obviously, i would never rearrange her girls) πŸ’…

yeah. forty of them. i counted. i am not okay 😭 but also? i ate. we ate. periodt. πŸ“

quick note bestie: these are cross-references to other kernel API pages, not options you can pass. don't try to wx_set_mta -h and expect a menu, i'm begging πŸ™ˆ

okay that's the whole page!! short and sweet just like her πŸ’–

and now the lil sign-off: this cutie comes from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... source, version dated October 2026, and it's filed under wx_set_mta(9) β€” literally the same name as the title, she's consistent, she's reliable, she's that girl β­πŸŒΈπŸ’œ
