The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.

Note that this checks only immediate upper device, not through a…
netdev_features_change – device changes features Synopsis void netdev_features_change(struct net_device *dev); Arguments dev device to cause notification Description Called to indicate a device has changed features. Copyright
netdev_completed_queue – report bytes and packets completed by device Synopsis void netdev_completed_queue(struct net_device *dev, unsigned int pkts, unsigned int bytes); Arguments dev network device pkts actual number of packets sent over the medium bytes actual number of bytes sent over the medium Description Report the number of bytes and packets transmitted by the network device…
netdev_change_features – recalculate device features Synopsis void netdev_change_features(struct net_device *dev); Arguments dev the device to check Description Recalculate dev->features set and send notifications even if they have not changed. Should be called instead of netdev_update_features if also dev->vlan_features might have changed to allow the changes to be propagated to stacked VLAN devices. Copyright
netdev_cap_txqueue – check if selected tx queue exceeds device queues Synopsis u16 netdev_cap_txqueue(struct net_device * dev, u16 queue_index); Arguments dev network device queue_index given tx queue index Description Returns 0 if given tx queue index >= number of device tx queues, otherwise returns the originally passed tx queue index. Copyright
netdev_boot_setup_check – check boot time settings Synopsis int netdev_boot_setup_check(struct net_device *dev); Arguments dev the netdevice Description Check boot time settings for the device. The found settings are set for the device to be used later in the device probing. Returns 0 if no settings found, 1 if they are. Copyright
netdev_bonding_info_change – Dispatch event about slave change Synopsis void netdev_bonding_info_change(struct net_device *dev, struct netdev_bonding_info *bonding_info); Arguments dev device bonding_info info to dispatch Description Send NETDEV_BONDING_INFO to netdev notifiers with info. The caller must hold the RTNL lock. Copyright
netdev_alloc_skb – allocate an skbuff for rx on a specific device Synopsis struct sk_buff *netdev_alloc_skb(struct net_device *dev, unsigned int length); Arguments dev network device to receive on length length to allocate Description Allocate a new sk_buff and assign it a usage count of one. The buffer has unspecified headroom built in. Users should allocate the…
netdev_alloc_frag – allocate a page fragment Synopsis void *netdev_alloc_frag(unsigned int fragsz); Arguments fragsz fragment size Description Allocates a frag from a page for receive buffer. Uses GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Copyright
