PROBE::NETDEV.IOCT(3stap)

💅 PROBE::NETDEV.IOCT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the SystemTap Tapset Reference, Networking Tapset edition — this is the manual page for probe::netdev.ioctl (that's a section 3stap page, iykyk). pull up a chair, it's a short one and honestly? a little iconic. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::netdev.ioctl — called when the device suffers an IOCTL

yes bestie, "suffers." the manpage said it, not me. 💀 your netdev is going through it and this probe is there to witness the whole thing.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

probe netdev.ioctl {}

that's it. that's the whole thing. no args, no fuss, just vibes and a probe point. 🫶

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

the tea this probe hands you when it fires. two little gifts, both blessed:

• cmd — the IOCTL request. like, the actual ask that came in. the what, if you will. ✨
• arg — the IOCTL argument, which is usually the netdev interface. so like, the who/what-it's-happening-to. most of the time. not always. don't @ me, that's just what the page says. 🙈

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• tapset::networking(3stap) — go read the networking tapset page too, it's giving main character energy and it knows things this one doesn't. 🌈

---

lowkey reminder: the manpage literally describes this as the device suffering an IOCTL. so if you're here debugging something weird on your interface — yeah. relatable. 🫠

SystemTap Tapset Reference 💖 version vibes, September 2026. mwah, that's the whole page bestie, slay, go probe something. 💅✨🦋🎀🌸
