✨ NAME ✨

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void ice_repr_get_stats64 (struct net_device *netdev , struct
rtnl_link_stats64 *stats );

she returns void, which lowkey means she's not here to give you a return value, she's here to deliver πŸ’… and she takes two args. that's it. that's the whole vibe check.


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • netdev β€” pointer to the port representor netdev. this is the netdev bestie, the representor one specifically, and you're handing her over so the stats can happen. πŸ¦‹
