💖 struct gnet_stats_basic(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the vibe, we're doing kernel structs today and honestly? iconic. ✨

This one is struct gnet_stats_basic, and it's literally just the glow-up of your throughput receipts — byte and packet counts, living their best life. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct gnet_stats_basic — byte/packet throughput statistics. that's it, that's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lowkey the whole struct is right here, no cap:

struct gnet_stats_basic {
    __u64 bytes;
    __u32 packets;
 };

like… she's small, she's tidy, she's giving main character energy in a header file. 🦋

👑 Members 👑

• bytes — number of seen bytes. the __u64 one, so she can count big. 🧚
