🌸 atl1c_get_stats(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, you're looking at a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little cutie. let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

atl1c_get_stats β€” Get System Network Statistics πŸŽ€

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct net_device_stats * atl1c_get_stats (struct net_device *netdev );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • netdev β€” the network interface device structure πŸ¦‹ (yes, that one, the whole device vibe)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does is, it hands you back the address of the device statistics structure. that's the whole thing. that's the gig πŸ’–

but here's the tea, and it's important: the stats are actually updated from the timer callback. not here. this function is just the girl who points you at the data, she is not the one doing the crunching, no cap 😭 so don't come for her if the numbers look a little stale β€” the timer's got that covered πŸ‘‘

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
