LINKSTATE_GET LINKSTATE_GET
============= =============
Requests link state information. At the moment, only link up/down flag (as Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided but some future ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
extensions are planned (e.g. link down reason). This request does not have any be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
attributes. is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
any attributes.
