💅 link_status_event_handler(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about link_status_event_handler — literally the link event handler, and yes, it's giving main character energy in the kernel networking world 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void link_status_event_handler (void *handle , void *buf_in , u16
in_size , void *buf_out , u16 *out_size );

no cap, that's the whole signature — memorize it like your fave lyric 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• handle — the nic device for the handler, aka the device this whole thing is doing the absolute most for 💖
• buf_in — input buffer, the incoming vibe check 📥
• in_size — input size, because even buffers need to know their measurements ✨
• buf_out — output buffer, where the results go to slay 📤
• out_size — returned output size, the receipts on how much output came back 💅
