netdev_get_ringparam(9)

✨ NAME ✨

hey bestie, welcome to the netdev_get_ringparam(9) page from the Kernel API Manual! 🫶 this one is literally about netdev_get_ringparam — get tx/rx ring parameters. no cap, that's the whole name vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void netdev_get_ringparam (struct net_device *dev , struct
ethtool_ringparam *ring , struct kernel_ethtool_ringparam *kernel_ring ,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

okay so that's the signature, exactly as it is, cute spaces before the commas and all — we do not mess with code around here 😤✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — Network device. the whole device bestie 🫶
• ring — Ethtool RING settings data structure. yes, that ring 💍
• kernel_ring — Ethtool external RING settings data structure. the external one, periodt ✨
• extack — Netlink handle. handle it, bestie 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this procedure returns the TX/RX ring settings. that's it, that's the tea 🍓 no extra lore, no secret side quests — just the TX/RX ring settings. 💅
