ENUM IEEE80211_MESH_SYNC_METHOD(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… enum ieee80211_mesh_sync_method β€” like, the mesh sync method identifier bestie

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's a page about enum ieee80211_mesh_sync_method β€” literally just the identifier for which synchronization method a mesh is using. tiny enum, big main character energy, let's go ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

enum ieee80211_mesh_sync_method β€” the mesh synchronization method identifier, no cap


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

enum ieee80211_mesh_sync_method {
    IEEE80211_SYNC_METHOD_NEIGHBOR_OFFSET ,
    IEEE80211_SYNC_METHOD_VENDOR

};

that's the whole thing. two constants, both slaying in their own way πŸ’…


✨ Constants ✨

  • IEEE80211_SYNC_METHOD_NEIGHBOR_OFFSET β€” the default synchronization method. like, the one everybody uses unless someone's being extra 🫢
  • IEEE80211_SYNC_METHOD_VENDOR β€” a vendor specific synchronization method, and it gets specified in a vendor specific information element. iykyk 🧚

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

so this lives in the kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211-mesh.h β€” it's an enum, bestie, in case the enum part wasn't obvious 😭

and the whole friend group is here, go say hi:

  • enum ieee80211_preq_flags(9)
  • enum ieee80211_preq_target_flags(9)
  • struct ieee80211_mesh_chansw_params_ie(9)
  • struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie(9)
  • enum mesh_config_capab_flags(9)
  • struct ieee80211_rann_ie(9)
  • enum ieee80211_mesh_path_protocol(9)
  • enum ieee80211_mesh_path_metric(9)
  • enum ieee80211_root_mode_identifier(9)

ok that's the whole page, it's giving short and iconic 🌈 don't forget the whole thing ships from ./include/linux, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, periodt πŸ’–πŸŽ€
