cfg80211_epcs_changed(9)
π cfg80211_epcs_changed(9) β from the Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, welcome to cfg80211_epcs_changed(9), and before you even ask β yes, this is a kernel API page, yes it's tiny, and yes it's still important, so let's give it the main character energy it deserves π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
cfg80211_epcs_changed β literally just: notify about a change in EPCS state. that's the whole vibe. you're the messenger, the state changed, and you're telling everybody about it. iconic behavior honestly πΈ
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void cfg80211_epcs_changed(struct net_device *netdev, bool enabled);
look at her. two arguments. returns void. no notes, she ate π
π ARGUMENTS π
netdevβ the wireless device whose EPCS state changed. like, this is the device going through it right now, be nice to her π₯Ίenabledβ set totrueif EPCS was enabled, otherwise set tofalse. that's it. true means on, false means not on. no in-between, no "kinda", no "it's complicated" β we love a binary π
ngl bestie, this page is short but she's got more coming β the rest of this manual is loading, so don't go anywhere π₯
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
okay bestie, this is the βnow go read these tooβ part of the page, and honestly? itβs giving iconic kernel-doc rabbit hole. every linked page from this chunk is right here, in order, no skips, no cap:
