💅 relay_stats(9) — get channel buffer statistics 💅

okay so this little icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the “get channel buffer statistics” girlie. No cap, she's here to hand you a count. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

relay_stats — get channel buffer statistics. That's the whole name, bestie; she does exactly what it says on the tin. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

size_t relay_stats (struct rchan *chan , int flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chan — the channel. Like, the actual struct rchan * you're asking about; that's the main character here. 👑
• flags — select particular information to get. This is your “which info tho?” selector, fr fr.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns the count of certain field that caller specifies. So you pass in the channel and those flags, and she gives you back the count for whichever field the caller picked. That's it — short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. 🫶
