idpf_get_stat_strings(9)

💅 idpf_get_stat_strings — the Kernel API manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the idpf_get_stat_strings (section 9) glow-up ✨ this is the Linux kernel API manual, and honestly? it's a whole little moment. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_get_stat_strings — Get stat strings 🌸

like, it gets the stat strings. that's the vibe. that's literally the whole vibe check. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void idpf_get_stat_strings (struct net_device *netdev , u8 *data );

no cap, that's the signature — return type void, two args, and yes there's a space before those commas in the original and we are respecting it 🫶

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• netdev — the network interface device structure 👑 this is the netdev in question, the main character.
• data — buffer for string data 🎀 that's where the string data goes. it's a u8 *, it's a buffer, it's giving storage.

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Builds the statistics string table ✨

that's it. that's the whole description. it builds the statistics string table, and honestly? iconic. short, sweet, no filler. ate and left no crumbs 💅

ngl bestie, that's the entire description in the original — no extra lore, no secret behaviour listed. don't go inventing a backstory for it, okay? 🙈
