batadv_get_ethtool_stats(9)

💅 batadv_get_ethtool_stats(9) — like, the kernel API manual page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about batadv_get_ethtool_stats — the ethtool stats handler for mesh interfaces. yes THE one. she's a function, she's void, she's got ✨three✨ arguments, and honestly? iconic behavior only.

🎀 NAME 🎀

batadv_get_ethtool_stats — the ethtool stats handler for mesh interfaces. that's it, that's her whole job description, and she ate 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_get_ethtool_stats (struct net_device *dev , struct
       ethtool_stats *stats , u64 *data );

look at that signature. so clean. so void. no return value, no drama, no crumbs 🌸

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

okay bestie, here's the breakdown of the three things you're handing her:

• dev — the mesh interface to query. this is the main character of the whole operation ngl 👑
• stats — the ethtool_stats struct. and hmm... it's unused. yeah, she's just there for the vibe check 💀 like she showed up to the group chat and said nothing. we respect it.
• data — the destination array where all the gathered counter values land. this is where the numbers go, and there are so many numbers 🍓

ngl this is a tiny page, but that's the whole point — she's a handler, she handles, she doesn't overexplain. periodt 💜
