__DEV_GET_BY_NAME(9)                  Network device support                 __DEV_GET_BY_NAME(9)



NAME
       __dev_get_by_name - find a device by its name

SYNOPSIS
       struct net_device * __dev_get_by_name(struct net * net, const char * name);

ARGUMENTS
       net
           the applicable net namespace

       name
           name to find

DESCRIPTION
       Find an interface by name. Must be called under RTNL semaphore or dev_base_lock. If the
       name is found a pointer to the device is returned. If the name is not found then NULL is
       returned. The reference counters are not incremented so the caller must be careful with
       locks.
