b43_current_band(9)

💅 b43_current_band(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the wireless kernel and this one is short but iconic ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

b43_current_band — it hands you back the band that's currently in use, and the answer is literally one of exactly two things: NL80211_BAND_2GHZ or NL80211_BAND_5GHZ. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nl80211_band b43_current_band (struct b43_wl *wl );

so you call it, you pass it a struct b43_wl *, and it returns you an enum nl80211_band. the way that return type is doing the most 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wl — bestie… -- undescribed --. yeah. the manual literally does not say. we are all just out here living the same undocumented life 😭🙈

ngl, they left us on read with this one. wl is a struct b43_wl * and that's genuinely all the synopsis is giving us — no cap, no extra lore, don't @ me 🫶
