ENUM IEEE80211_CHANCTX_MODE(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the enum ieee80211_chanctx_mode(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and the whole vibe is channel context configuration mode — yes, that's the name, and it's lowkey the main character of this little kernel moment 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of the enum, bestie — copy it exactly, no cap:

enum ieee80211_chanctx_mode {
    IEEE80211_CHANCTX_SHARED ,
    IEEE80211_CHANCTX_EXCLUSIVE

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

these are the two constants, and they're giving very different energy ⭐:

• IEEE80211_CHANCTX_SHARED — channel context may be used by multiple interfaces. sharing is caring, bestie 💖.
• IEEE80211_CHANCTX_EXCLUSIVE — channel context can be used only by a single interface. This can be used for example for non-fixed channel IBSS. one interface only, no sharing, periodt 🫶.
