dev_get_by_name — find a device by its name
struct net_device * dev_get_by_name ( | struct net * net, |
const char * name); |
Find an interface by name. This can be called from any
context and does its own locking. The returned handle has
the usage count incremented and the caller must use dev_put to
release it when it is no longer needed. NULL is returned if no
matching device is found.
