πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

enum nl80211_tid_stats β€” the per-TID statistics attributes, bestie!! πŸŽ€ This is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "tiny enum, big responsibilities" energy. Per-TID stats, slay.

🌸 Constants 🌸

okay so these are the members, one by one, and yes we're doing all of them because nobody gets left behind πŸ’…

  • __NL80211_TID_STATS_INVALID β€” attribute number 0 is reserved. It's the "do not touch" seat at the lunch table, periodt.
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_RX_MSDU β€” number of MSDUs received (u64). Incoming mail, iconic behavior πŸ“¬
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_TX_MSDU β€” number of MSDUs transmitted, or attempted to transmit β€” either way it counts, and it's a u64. Sending it fr fr.
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_TX_MSDU_RETRIES β€” number of retries for transmitted MSDUs (u64). and ngl the bestie note matters: this does not count the first attempt. only the retries, lowkey shady but valid.
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_TX_MSDU_FAILED β€” number of failed transmitted MSDUs (u64). it's giving "we don't talk about that" but we do, we count it 😭
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_PAD β€” attribute used for padding for 64-bit alignment. aesthetic maintenance, she's just here to keep things aligned πŸŽ€
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_TXQ_STATS β€” TXQ stats, and it's a nested attribute (so like, stats inside stats, v meta of her).
  • NUM_NL80211_TID_STATS β€” number of attributes here. the headcount.
  • NL80211_TID_STATS_MAX β€” highest numbered attribute here. the ceiling, the final boss, the max πŸ‘‘
heads up bestie: __NL80211_TID_STATS_INVALID being attribute 0 reserved is not a vibe suggestion, it's the rule. don't go assigning meaning to it πŸ’€
