dim_update_sample(9)

💖 dim_update_sample(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the dim_update_sample(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual section, we're in kernel-land now, put your hair up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dim_update_sample — sets a sample's fields with the values you give it. that's it. that's the whole job. she fills in the numbers, she minds her business 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dim_update_sample (u16 event_ctr , u64 packets , u64 bytes , struct
dim_sample *s );

literally just hand her four things and she handles it 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• event_ctr — the number of events you want set. it's a u16, keep that in mind bestie, she's smol 💀
• packets — the number of packets to set.
• bytes — the number of bytes to set. yes packets and bytes are two separate args, no you can't merge them, don't even try 🙈
• s — your DIM sample. that's the struct that's getting updated. she's the main character here 👑
