PROBE::NETDEV.REGI(3stap)

πŸ’– PROBE::NETDEV.REGI β€” the 3stap girlies know πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we're in the Networking Tapset today and this one is a whole lil baby of a probe page but it's IMPORTANT, so pay attention πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

probe::netdev.register β€” called when the device is registered

like. literally that. the moment a netdevice gets registered, this probe is like "not me showing up 😭" and it fires. main character energy fr fr πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe netdev.register {}

that's it. no arguments, no params, nothing to pass in. she takes zero inputs and gives you everything. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ VALUES πŸ¦‹

so like, what do you actually get to work with here? one (1) value. a single lil guy. but he's carrying the whole plot:

  • dev_name β€” the device that is going to be registered

that's the one you're gonna reach for when you're like "wait WHICH device is doing the thing rn" πŸ“ it's the name of the device that's about to be registered β€” like, the registration is happening, she's on her way in, and dev_name is her name tag πŸ’œ

🫢 reminder bestie: this value is available inside the probe body. it's not a thing you pass in, it's a thing you get handed. vibe check passed.
