__iavf_add_stat_strings(9)

💅 __iavf_add_stat_strings(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual one, bestie

okay so this is a kernel API page, no cap, and it's about copying stat strings into an ethtool buffer. it's giving "small helper, huge responsibility" energy and honestly? we're obsessed. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __iavf_add_stat_strings (u8 **p , const struct iavf_stats stats[] ,
const unsigned int size , ... );

like, yes, that's the whole thing. she's little but she's mighty 💪

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• p — the buffer that ethtool was like "here u go" and handed over 💖
• stats — the stat definitions array, aka the lore of what counts as a stat
• size — how big the stats array is, fr fr, we need to know 📏
• ... — variable arguments, the mysterious ones, main character energy honestly 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically: format the strings that stats describes, then copy them into the buffer that p is pointing at. that's it. that's the job. she formats, she copies, she slays. periodt ✨

ngl it's a tiny function, but don't sleep on it — every single stat string you see came through here at some point 👑

this page lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, and it's stamped October 2026 — so yeah, future-core of it all. go forth and copy those stat strings, bestie, you've got this 💅🌈⭐
