Hi All, I am writing an user space application which gets the statistics from the NIC drivers. To do this, I am using Ethtool ioctl with Ioctl command SIOCETHTOOL and with ethtool command ETHTOOL_GSTATS along with the address of struct ethtool_stats variable. My question is: What would be the format of the statistics copied from the kernel space (to the address pointed by the data field of struct ethtool_stats) ? Do all the drivers implement the same data format when they copy the statistics to user space in response to this Ethtool ioctl? If not, how can I know what format used by the driver I am working on ( I am working on Atheros driver)?
