b43_radio_set(9)

💅 b43_radio_set(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so this is b43_radio_set(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual section 9 — yes it's a section 9 page, yes it's a kernel function, yes we're doing this 🌸

---

✨ NAME ✨

b43_radio_set — ORs a 16bit radio register with a bitmap 💖

Like, it takes the radio register and it sets the bits you hand it. Boom. That's the whole personality.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void b43_radio_set (struct b43_wldev *dev , u16 offset , u16 set );

Look at that signature. Iconic. Returns void because it simply does not owe you a status code 💅

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• dev — -- undescribed -- 😭 ngl the docs left this one on read
• offset — -- undescribed -- 🫶 also left on read
• set — -- undescribed -- 💀 three for three, the manpage said "no thoughts, head empty"

fr fr, all three arguments are literally marked -- undescribed -- in the original. I'm not gonna invent lore for them, that's not the vibe. The names are the names: dev, offset, set.
