brcmf_p2p_escan(9)

💅 brcmf_p2p_escan 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, we're fancy like that). this is the page for brcmf_p2p_escan, and yes it's giving "wireless driver internals but make it cute." let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

brcmf_p2p_escan — initiate a P2P scan. that's the whole vibe. it starts a P2P scan, periodt. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 brcmf_p2p_escan (struct brcmf_p2p_info *p2p , u32 num_chans , u16
chanspecs[] , s32 search_state , enum p2p_bss_type bss_type );

look at that signature. it's literally handing you back an s32, no cap. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p2p — P2P specific data. that's the P2P info struct, bestie, it's the main character here 👑
• num_chans — number of channels to scan. yes, it's a u32, and yes, it's exactly what it says 🦋
• chanspecs — channel parameters for num_chans channels. one lil u16 array carrying the channel specs 🌈
• search_state — P2P discover state to use. it's an s32, and it tells the scan which discover state we're in 💫
• bss_type — type of P2P bss. it's an enum p2p_bss_type, so it knows what kind of P2P BSS we're dealing with 💅
