b43_radio_mask(9)

💅 b43_radio_mask(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil function page, and honestly? she's short but she serves. it's b43_radio_mask, and no cap, the name basically tells you everything: she masks a 16bit radio register with a mask. iconic behaviour, tbh 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

b43_radio_mask — mask a 16bit radio register with a mask 💫

like yes, that's the whole pitch. short, sweet, to the point. main character energy fr fr.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void b43_radio_mask (struct b43_wldev *dev , u16 offset , u16 mask );

that's the whole signature, bestie — copy it exactly, don't be out here editing it, she's perfect as-is 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

okay so the docs are being a little mysterious here, and we're not out here inventing lore, so:

• dev — -- undescribed -- 🙈 the page literally does not describe it. iykyk. that's all we got.
• offset — -- undescribed -- 😭 same situation. no description supplied, and we do NOT make things up in this group chat.
• mask — -- undescribed -- 💀 yeah. also undescribed. three for three. the manpage said "figure it out" and honestly? relatable.

no invented facts here bestie — if the original didn't say it, i'm not saying it either. mysterious queens only 👑
