igb_update_stats(9)

💖 igb_update_stats(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this page is igb_update_stats(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's short and sweet and honestly a little iconic for how much it does with so few lines 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

igb_update_stats — literally just updates the board statistics counters. that's the whole vibe. counters go brrr, stats stay fresh, nobody claps but the whole driver depends on it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igb_update_stats (struct igb_adapter *adapter );

no cap, that's the entire signature. it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, it's not coming 😭

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the board's private structure. that's it, that's the one thing you hand it. it's giving "just give me the whole board and I'll handle the rest" main character energy 👑

💀 reminder that this is kernel-side stuff — if you're reading this page you're already in the deep end, so read the actual source before you go poking at counters, fr fr.

and that's the page!! this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026, and it's igb_update_stats(9) in the Kernel API Manual — go update those counters bestie, slay 💜✨
