gelic_net_poll_controller(9)

✨ gelic_net_poll_controller ✨

okay so real talk, bestie — this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's about exactly one tiny little function. she's small, she's mighty, she's gelic_net_poll_controller, and her whole job is being an artificial interrupt for netconsole and friends. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void gelic_net_poll_controller (struct net_device *netdev );

literally one function. one argument. zero drama. we love a low-maintenance icon. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• netdev — the interface device structure, i.e. the net_device she's working with. that's the whole argument list, no notes.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the actual explanation? it's not even here, bestie. the page says: see Documentation/networking/netconsole.rst. that's the assignment. go read the docs.

ngl, this is one of those "the description is elsewhere" situations, so i'm not gonna invent lore for you. the manpage says what the manpage says. 🙈
