ENUM IEEE80211_ROC_TYPE(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 enum ieee80211_roc_type(9) — the remain-on-channel type, bestie ✨

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about enum ieee80211_roc_type — the remain on channel type. That's the name, that's the vibe, no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum ieee80211_roc_type — remain on channel type. It's the enum that tags what kind of ROC moment you're requesting, and yes it's giving tiny-but-important. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum ieee80211_roc_type {
    IEEE80211_ROC_TYPE_NORMAL ,
    IEEE80211_ROC_TYPE_MGMT_TX

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

  • IEEE80211_ROC_TYPE_NORMAL — bestie, there are literally no special requirements for this ROC. It's the chill one. 🫶
  • IEEE80211_ROC_TYPE_MGMT_TX — this remain on channel request is required for sending management frames offchannel. That's the whole assignment. 💅

💖 Description 💖

okay so with the support for multi channel contexts and multi channel operations, remain on channel operations might be limited, deferred, or aborted by other flows/operations that have higher priority — and vice versa, fr fr. Specifying the ROC type can be used by devices to prioritize the ROC operations compared to other operations/flows. It's giving scheduler main character energy, but for wireless. 😭
