cfg80211_scan_done(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 NAME 💫

ok so this page is cfg80211_scan_done(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones so we're chilling 🌸

cfg80211_scan_done — notify that scan finished 💅 that's literally the whole vibe, it tells the world your scan is done

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ok here's the whole signature, no cap:

void cfg80211_scan_done (struct cfg80211_scan_request *request , struct
       cfg80211_scan_info *info );

so it's a void situation — no return value, it just does the thing and dips 🦋 and yes, she takes exactly two pointer args, both structs, both iconic in their own way.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

two args, two besties, let's go 🫶

  • request — the corresponding scan request 💖 like, the actual scan she's wrapping up. this is the one, the matching request that this scan belongs to, periodt.
  • info — information about the completed scan ✨ the little recap of what went down, so everyone knows how the scan ended up. literally it's giving "here's the tea on the scan that just finished" 🍓
ngl, that's all part 1 has for us — but don't touch that dial, there's more coming 👑 so keep reading, iykyk 💜

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 💅 this is the master cross-reference list and it is long, but literally every single one of these is important. first things first: everything here lives in the kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, and it all comes with (9) manpage energy. no cap.

that first chunk right there? the capability-check girlies 🎀 they ate.

the whole cfg80211_chandef_* squad, back to back 😭 iconic behaviour honestly.

NAN girlies rise 🦋 the whole cfg80211_nan_* family is here and they're thriving.

look at all those work-queue helpers 😭 queue it, cancel it, flush it, check if it's pending — the full cycle, every time. obsessed.

the find_ie / find_elem crew 🔥 match, no-match, ext, vendor — if you're hunting for an information element, there's a function for it, fr fr.

vendor commands and test mode, the "my driver does something special" corner 😌 we see you.

and that's the whole list 🌈 every single (9) accounted for, not one dropped. the way this section just keeps going… anyway, keep scrolling bestie, there's more coming 💖

okay so we're still in the cross-reference list and honestly? she keeps going and we respect it 💅 these are all (9) pages in the same family, so if you're the kind of gremlin who reads the whole cluster, this is your moment:

like, that's the whole squad 🫶 no notes, we love a thorough bibliography. if you were looking for something and it's not in here, bestie it's probably in one of those pages, so hop over — iykyk 🌈

and that's a wrap on cfg80211_scan_done(9)!! 🎀 this little beauty lives over in ./include/net, and this particular printing is dated October 2026 ⭐ go forth and scan responsibly, mwah 💖✨
