πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– idpf_add_one_ethtool_stat(9) πŸ’–

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one tiny little helper that copies a stat into the buffer you hand it. short king behavior, honestly. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void idpf_add_one_ethtool_stat (u64 *data , const void *pstat , const struct idpf_stats *stat );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • data β€” the spot where you want the stat value to land. it's where the copying to happens, bestie πŸ’…
  • pstat β€” the old stat pointer, aka where we're copying from. the source of truth, the original, the blueprint πŸ¦‹
  • stat β€” the stat definition itself. the little struct that tells us what we're even dealing with ✨

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so here's the vibe: it copies the stat data that's defined by the pointer + stat structure pair into the memory you passed in as data. that's it. that's the whole job. 🫢

but β€” and this is the important part β€” if the pointer is null, then data gets zero'd instead. no pointer, no data, so it just fills it with zeros. lowkey considerate of it, ngl πŸ’€

no surprises here, it's giving "small function that does exactly one thing and does it well." main character energy, honestly πŸ‘‘

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay buckle up bestie, this list is LONG, but every single one of these is part of the same little idpf ethtool family and they all ate πŸ’…


and that's the whole page, bestie, you're officially an idpf stat expert πŸ§šπŸ’– this came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf and it's dated October 2026 β€” go forth and copy those stats, ily, bye! πŸŒΈπŸ’…
