rtnl_link_stats64 *stats );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two args, no return value, void queen 👑 she doesn't give anything back, she just does.

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • netdev — the network interface device structure 💖 like, the actual NIC's little passport, okay? that's the one you're pulling stats from.
  • stats — a rtnl_link_stats64 pointer ✨ a place to put the numbers. hand her the bucket, she fills the bucket.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do?? she returns the address of the device statistics structure. that's the tea ☕ the whole function. one sentence. no cap. she's lowkey a one-job icon and she performs that job flawlessly 💅

(it's giving "i have one line in the group chat and it's the correct line" energy, honestly.)
