netif_dormant(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the netif_dormant(9) page bestie — this is the Kernel API Manual and we're here to talk about netif_dormant, which is literally the "is this device dormant rn?" checker. yes. that's the whole job. and it slays at it 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool netif_dormant (const struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the network device, that's it, that's the whole argument 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Check if device is dormant. periodt. that's genuinely the entire description and honestly? we love a no-notes king 👑

ngl this one is short because the function itself is short — it looks at dev and tells you whether it's dormant or not. no cap, no extra lore, nothing hidden. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie. brace yourself. the cross-reference list on this page is iconic and enormous and we are not skipping a single one of them 💀

Also worth noting up top: there's a kernel file referenced here, ./include/linux/netdevice.h. go look at it, it's giving main character energy for this entire family of functions ⭐
