update_link_status(9)

✨ NAME ✨

update_link_status — Update link status, bestie 💅

Kernel API Manual realness: this is the update_link_status(9) page, and it's literally about updating link status. No cap, that's the whole NAME vibe 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void update_link_status (struct net_device *netdev , union
       oct_link_status *ls );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• netdev — network device. The interface getting its lil' status refresh, periodt 🫶
• ls — link status structure. The data carrying the status tea ☕✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one gets called on receipt of a link status response from the core application, and it updates each interface's link status. That's the job — keeping every interface's status up to date, main character energy only 🌈💫
