STRUCT IONIC_LIF_INFO(9)

🌸 struct ionic_lif_info(9) — Kernel API Manual 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about struct ionic_lif_info — the LIF info structure. That's it, that's the whole vibe. She's a struct, she holds LIF info, she's iconic and lowkey does exactly what it says on the tin 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's what she looks like, no cap, character for character:

struct ionic_lif_info {
    union ionic_lif_config config;
    struct ionic_lif_status status;
    struct ionic_lif_stats stats;
 };

three members, all structs/unions, all vibes. periodt 💅

🫶 Members 🫶

• config — the LIF configuration structure. this is the how-she's-set-up energy ✨
• status — the LIF status structure. the how-she's-doing-right-now check 🩺
• stats — the LIF statistics structure. the receipts, the numbers, the proof 📊

that's three out of three, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

so like. there is SO much to see here bestie. the kernel file itself is:

💀 genuinely bestie, that's a lot of structs and I listed every single one. if you were looking for a short reading list you came to the wrong manpage. iykyk.

sign-off 🫶 — this page lives in the kernel source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand... (yes, truncated just like that in the footer, don't @ me), and it's dated October 2026. love that for her. mwah 💖✨🎀
