cfg802154_de...s_associated(9)

💖 cfg802154_device_is_associated — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so picture this: you're deep in the 9 section of the Kernel API Manual, right, and you just need to know one thing — is this wpan device, like, associated to literally anyone? That's the whole vibe of this page. It's a check. That's it. And it eats. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

cfg802154_device_is_associated — checks whether we are associated to any device 🫶

Like, not "which device", not "how many devices", not "why is this device like this". Just: are we associated? Yes or no. Iconic minimalism tbh.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool cfg802154_device_is_associated (struct wpan_dev *wpan_dev );

that's the whole thing. one function, one pointer, one bool coming back at you. no cap. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wpan_dev — the wpan device 💖 (literally just the device we're checking, she's the main character of this call)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

true if we are associated 🌈

and that's the only thing this page promises you, bestie — so don't go reading extra meaning into it, iykyk. If we're associated, you get true. 🧚

okay that's the page!! 💜 it lives under ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and yeah — the title up there really does get abbreviated to cfg802154_de...s_associated(9) because kernel function names are long and the manpage header said what it said. periodt. 🍓
