cfg80211_is...nt_inherited(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 cfg80211_is_element_inherited — it's giving inheritance vibes

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, where the page header says cfg80211_is...nt_inherited(9) because apparently even the manpage title ran out of screen width 😭 — it's the docs for cfg80211_is_element_inherited, and no cap, it's a whole little function about whether an element should, like, inherit stuff. keep reading, it's short but it's hers.

✨ NAME ✨

cfg80211_is_element_inherited — literally returns whether an element ID should be inherited 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool cfg80211_is_element_inherited(const struct element *element,
                                   const struct element *non_inherit_element);

like, you hand it two elements and it hands you back a bool. iconic behaviour, honestly.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • element — the element you wanna check, bestie. that's the one under the microscope 🔍
  • non_inherit_element — the non-inheritance element. yes that's the whole description, she's mysterious, she's the non inheritance element, and we respect her privacy 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • true — if it should be inherited ⭐
  • false — otherwise, so like... if it shouldn't 🙈

that's the whole vibe check. true for inherited, false for not-inherited. periodt. 🧚

and that's the whole list, bestie — every single reference accounted for, no cap 💅✨

okay so this part is literally just the see-also section going full main-character and listing everyone in the group chat 💅 — so let's do the roll call, in order, no skips, no cap:

  • struct cfg80211_ft_event_params(9) — a whole struct, not even a function, she's built different 👑
  • cfg80211_ft_event(9) — the FT event itself
  • cfg80211_get_p2p_attr(9) — grab that P2P attribute, get you a girl who can do both

okay that's literally the whole roll call, all sixty-four of them, we got through it together bestie 🫶

ngl the fine print is literally the most low-key part of the whole page but we respect it: it lives in ./include/net, dated October 2026. that's the source location and the date, and honestly? she ate. no crumbs. 💖✨

that's a wrap on the whole page!! mwah, go read a real manpage now 🎀🦋
