cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined(9)
π cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined π
okay so bestie, we're in the cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined(9) zone β yes that (9) is the kernel API manual section, we're in the big leagues now π«Ά. This one's short and sweet, so let's get into it.
β¨ NAME β¨
cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined β the lil notification that goes "hey, we joined a NAN cluster!!" π£
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined (struct wireless_dev *wdev , const u8
*cluster_id , bool new_cluster , gfp_t gfp );
no cap, that's the whole signature. four args, one void return, zero drama π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
wdevβ pointer to thestruct wireless_dev, aka the wireless device structure. this is the main character of the operation πcluster_idβ the Cluster ID of the NAN cluster that was joined or started.const u8 *so bestie, you're not touching it πnew_clusterβ aboolthat tells you if this is a brand-new cluster or an existing one. the vibe check: fresh π± or already established ποΈgfpβ the memory allocation flags (gfp_t). standard kernel allocation-flag situation, you know the drill π§
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so here's the tea π β this function is what you call to notify user space when a NAN cluster has been joined. it hands over two things:
- the cluster ID, so user space knows which cluster we're talking about
- a flag saying whether it's a new cluster or not, because context matters, always π
literally that's it. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy. it doesn't do the joining itself, it just announces the join to user space so everybody's on the same page. slay β¨
πΈ SEE ALSO πΈ
okay bestie, this is the part where the page basically goes "now go read literally everything else" π and honestly? iconic behaviour. every single one of these is a real page you can pull up, so here's the whole squad, in order, no skips, no cap β¨
