Synopsis
struct net_device * __dev_get_by_index ( | struct net * | net, |
| | int | ifindex); |
Arguments
net
the applicable net namespace
ifindex
index of device
Description
Search for an interface by index. Returns NULL if the device
is not found or a pointer to the device. The device has not
had its reference counter increased so the caller must be careful
about locking. The caller must hold either the RTNL semaphore
or dev_base_lock.
