print_link_info(9)

💫 print_link_info(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💫

okay so listen, this is a kernel API page (yes, the fancy manual section 9 kind) and it's called print_link_info. That's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. It prints link info. Groundbreaking, I know, but somebody has to do it. 🫶
