ENUM NL80211_PEER_MEASUREMENT_FTM_REQ_TYPE(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the enum nl80211_peer_measurement_ftm_req_type(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — this is the FTM ranging request type, used with %NL80211_PMSR_PEER_ATTR_REQ_TYPE. it’s giving “which flavor of ranging are we doing?” and honestly? iconic. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum nl80211_peer_measurement_ftm_req_type {
    NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_INFRA ,
    NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_PD ,
    NUM_NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE ,
    NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_MAX

};

🧮 Constants 🧮

• NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_INFRA — infrastructure ranging, i.e. STA-to-AP. that’s the “station talks to the access point” lane, slay 💅
• NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_PD — peer-to-peer ranging as defined in the Wi-Fi Alliance specification "Proximity Ranging (PR) Implementation Consideration Draft 1.9 Rev 1". yes, that whole title, no cap 🎀
• NUM_NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE — internal. that’s it, that’s the whole vibe 🙈
• NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_MAX — highest request type value. the ceiling, the limit, the main character of the upper bound 👑
