b43_has_hardware_pctl(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ b43_has_hardware_pctl ✨

from the Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're reading kernel docs together and honestly this one is short and sweet 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

b43_has_hardware_pctl — Hardware Power Control supported? It returns a boolean, whether hardware power control is supported. that's the whole vibe. yes/no. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool b43_has_hardware_pctl (struct b43_wldev *dev );

like, you hand it a dev and it hands you back a bool. one in, one out. the way that it just works 😌

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • dev — -- undescribed --

and no, bestie, i'm not gatekeeping anything from you 😭 the manpage literally just says -- undescribed --. it's a struct b43_wldev * (see the synopsis, she's right there), and the docs have nothing more to say about it. that's it. that's the entry. not me making things up, fr fr 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_common.h

like, that's a whole friend group 💀 every single one of them is invited to the function-reference party and i listed all of them, no skips, no cuts, we don't do that here 🫶

a little heads up from your girl: this page is only the description above. everything you actually need lives in those SEE ALSO friends and in ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_common.h, so go read those before you go poking at hardware power control 🙈

and that's the page!! short, sweet, boolean-y 🍓

mwah, go forth and check your hardware power control support, bestie 💜🧚‍♀️
