ENUM ETHTOOL_HEADER_FLAGS(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

enum ethtool_header_flags — common ethtool header flags. That's the whole vibe, bestie: this is the enum ethtool_header_flags(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic. Slay. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum ethtool_header_flags {
    ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS ,
    ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY ,
    ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS

};

💅 Constants 💅

Okay so these are the constants, and they are fr fr the main characters of this enum:

• ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS — use compact bitsets in reply. It's giving tidy, no giant messy bitset energy. ✨
• ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY — provide optional reply for SET or ACT requests. Very "here's an optional reply, iykyk" of it. 💌
• ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS — request statistics, if supported by the driver. Ask for the stats, but only when the driver says it supports that — no cap. 📊

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool_netlink_generated.h, plus enum hwtstamp_source(9) and enum ethtool_pse_event(9) — go read those too, bestie. 👑
