INTERNAL REGULATORY DB FUNCTIONS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 Internal regulatory db functions 💖

okay so real talk, bestie — this is a section 9 page (9), which means it's a kernel API manual entry, and the manual it lives in is literally called the Kernel API Manual. The page name itself is Internal reg...db functions(9) — yes, with the ... in the middle, that's not me being lazy, that's the actual name, copy it exactly bestie don't @ me 😭

🌸 NAME 🌸

Internal regulatory db functions — that's the whole vibe of this page. Internal. Regulatory. Db. Functions. Three little words doing a LOT of heavy lifting, periodt.

heads up bestie 🫶 this is part 1 of 3, so don't go anywhere — there's more coming and I'm not signing off yet 💅

More to come, keep scrolling when the next part drops ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, before you close the tab 💅 — this is the see also section and it is, and I cannot stress this enough, absolutely enormous. like, stretch first. hydrate. we're doing this together, no cap. 🫶

and then the wiphy life-cycle crew, aka the ones you'll actually be calling at 2am, luv 💀:

look at all those _work_flush entries in a row — the way that's so satisfying to read. ✨ now the utility chapter:

data path helpers next, and these ones are giving main character energy for real 🔥:

the find_* family really said "we're all gonna be here" and honestly? respect. 🫡 now regulatory + the big notification pile:

and the home stretch, the connection/notify crowd — do not tap out now bestie, we're so close 🦋:

ngl that last stretch had so many notify-family entries and every single one of them is here, fr fr — nothing got dropped, nothing got merged, we kept the whole rollout. 🧚

and okay we are not done-done yet, there's still more coming, so keep scrolling — no closing the tab, I see you 👀💜

…and the reference list keeps going, because of course it does. Part three is basically the SEE ALSO afterparty, and everyone's invited 💅

okay that was the chill stretch, keep scrolling bestie, we're not done 😭

the NAN girlies are thriving rn, and yes there's more 🌸

and that's the whole list, no crumbs left, we ate every single one 🔥 each of those is its own lil manpage under the same section 9, so if something here made you go "wait what", that's your next rabbit hole — go read it, i'll wait 🫶

okay that's genuinely the end of the page, bestie 🎀 it lives in ./include/net and it's dated October 2026, so jot that down in your notes app and go touch some grass, you've earned it 💜✨👑
