Hi,


isn't this already there?



include/netlink/route/link.h:


typedef enum {
        RTNL_LINK_RX_BYTES,             /*!< Bytes received */
        RTNL_LINK_TX_BYTES,             /*!< Bytes sent */
        RTNL_LINK_RX_ERRORS,            /*!< Receive errors */
        RTNL_LINK_TX_ERRORS,            /*!< Send errors */
        RTNL_LINK_RX_DROPPED,           /*!< Received packets dropped */
        RTNL_LINK_TX_DROPPED,           /*!< Packets dropped during transmit */
} rtnl_link_stat_id_t;

extern uint64_t rtnl_link_get_stat(struct rtnl_link *, rtnl_link_stat_id_t);
