batadv_interface_stats(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the batadv_interface_stats(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded in like a cute lil name tag 🫶. This is the mesh-interface stats situation, and honestly it’s giving “quietly useful icon” energy.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_interface_stats — return netdev stats for a mesh interface. That’s the whole vibe: you want the netdev stats, and this is the one serving them 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct net_device_stats * batadv_interface_stats (struct net_device *dev
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the mesh interface to query. That’s the interface you’re asking for stats about, no mystery.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Aggregate the per-CPU traffic counters into the standard netdev stats structure. Lowkey the whole job is gathering those per-CPU counters up into the standard structure — clean, simple, slay ✨.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

A pointer to the populated net_device_stats structure — yes, it returns struct net_device_stats *, and yes, that pointer is the prize 🎀.
