brcmf_p2p_se...scover_state(9)

💅 brcmf_p2p_se...scover_state(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is <pink>brcmf_p2p_set_discover_state</pink> from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a tiny little function with a big job. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

brcmf_p2p_set_discover_state — literally just sets the discover state in firmware. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 brcmf_p2p_set_discover_state (struct brcmf_if *ifp , u8 state , u16 chanspec , u16 listen_ms );

like, that's the signature, bestie. returns an s32, takes four things. slay. 💅

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

here's the cast of characters, main character energy only:

• ifp — the low-level interface object. it's giving "the actual handle we're working with" 🫶
• state — the discover state to set. this is the whole point of the function ngl 🙈
• chanspec — channel parameters, and lowkey it only applies for state WL_P2P_DISC_ST_LISTEN 💀 like, only then. iykyk.
• listen_ms — duration to listen, measured in ms, and same deal: only for state WL_P2P_DISC_ST_LISTEN ⭐

fr fr, those last two are conditional. don't come for me, it's in the source. WL_P2P_DISC_ST_LISTEN or nothing, periodt. 💀
