🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int octep_ctrl_net_get_if_stats (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid ,

       *tx_stats );

like, that's the whole signature. slay. 📎

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vfid — the index of the virtual function. iykyk 👑
  • rx_stats — a non-null pointer to struct octep_iface_rx_stats. yes, also non-null. it's giving "please actually pass something" 🌸
  • tx_stats — a non-null pointer to struct octep_iface_tx_stats. third non-null of the day, we love consistency 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the return value is the whole storyline here:

  • 0 — on success. we ate. 🔥
  • -errno — on failure. and not me having to say it: it's negative errno, so check it, don't ignore it 🙈
