_ieee80211_...t_mgmt_frame(9)

💖 _ieee80211_...t_mgmt_frame(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual entry, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for _ieee80211_...t_mgmt_frame(9) — yes the title is truncated in the corner, no that's not a typo, that's just how the header renders, we move. this is the cute little helper that tells you if a frame is a robust management frame or not. very "am I the drama?" energy. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

_ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame — checks whether a frame is a robust management frame. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? she ate. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool _ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame (struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr );

so it hands you back a bool, takes one struct ieee80211_hdr * called hdr, and that's the whole vibe check 🔥

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hdr — the frame, bestie. and listen, this part is important: the buffer must include at least the first octet of payload. not optional, not a suggestion, that's the requirement, iykyk 🙈

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it returns whether or not the frame is a robust management frame. yes/no energy. true or false, no in-between, no situationships ✨

okay the see-also section on this one is long, like she has a whole extended friend group, so buckle up 🫶 oh and also — kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211.h is where it lives, iconic.

lowkey do notice _ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame (underscore first, this page) and ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame (no underscore, in the list) are two different entries — keep them straight, bestie, don't be out here merging names 💀

and that's the page!! mwah 💜 source spot is ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and the page name up top and down bottom is _ieee80211_...t_mgmt_frame(9) — go forth and check those frames, queen 👑 🎀
