💖 b43_phy_shm_tssi_read(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so first things first, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-functions section, iykyk) and the star of the show is b43_phy_shm_tssi_read. she's a tiny little helper but she's doing her job and we respect her for it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

b43_phy_shm_tssi_read — literally reads the average of the last 4 TSSI values out of SHM. that's it, that's the whole thing, and honestly? iconic. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int b43_phy_shm_tssi_read (struct b43_wldev *dev , u16 shm_offset );

yes she takes two args and yes she returns an int. moving on 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — undescribed. and I mean that fr fr, the original manual page just says "undescribed" 😭 not me having to tell you that the docs simply did not show up for this one 🙈 so yeah, it's a struct b43_wldev * and that's all we're getting, bestie.
  • shm_offset — the SHM address you want to read the values from. that's the one, that's the address, she's a u16 and she's pointing at the good stuff 💖

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does she actually do? she returns the average of the 4 TSSI values, or a negative error code if things go sideways. short and sweet, no notes, slay 💅✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

buckle up bestie, this list is LONG and we are going through all of it, no skipping, I would never 💀

like I said. long. but we read them all, every single one, because that's the kind of friend I am 🌈💜

(yes it really is cut off like that in the footer, don't come for me 💀) and it's dated October 2026, and the page itself is b43_phy_shm_tssi_read(9) — go read the real thing if you need the full path, bestie, ily, bye 🎀💖🌸
