ENUM QLINK_STA_INFO(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, this is a Kernel API Manual page and you're about to become the world's foremost expert on one (1) bitmap enum. no cap. let's go 💅

✨ NAME ✨

enum qlink_sta_info — the station information bitmap. that's it, that's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum qlink_sta_info {
    QLINK_STA_INFO_CONNECTED_TIME ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_INACTIVE_TIME ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES64 ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES64 ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_BEACON_RX ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_SIGNAL ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BITRATE ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_PACKETS ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_PACKETS ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_RETRIES ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_FAILED ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_STA_FLAGS ,
    QLINK_STA_INFO_NUM

};

look at her. seventeen little flag constants plus a NUM at the end. absolute main character energy 🌟

🎀 Constants 🎀

every one of these is basically saying "hey bestie, this particular value over here? it's valid, trust" — here's the full roll call:

  • QLINK_STA_INFO_CONNECTED_TIME — the connected_time value is valid. yes queen, we know how long they've been here 💖
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_INACTIVE_TIME — the inactive_time value is valid. it's giving "they've been quiet for a min" 🙈
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES — the lower 32 bits of the rx_bytes value are valid. just the low half, okay? not the whole thing, don't be greedy 😌
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES — the lower 32 bits of the tx_bytes value are valid. same deal, low 32 only ✨
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES64 — the rx_bytes value is valid. the whole value this time. the full 64 bits. slay 👑
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES64 — the tx_bytes value is valid. full width, no notes.
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC — the rx_dropped_misc value is valid. dropped packets, misc flavour 💀
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_BEACON_RX — the rx_beacon value is valid. beacons received, we love to see it 🔥
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_SIGNAL — the signal value is valid. how loud is it? very. 📶
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG — the signal_avg value is valid. the average version, for the people who like smooth data 🌸
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_BITRATE — the rxrate value is valid. (note: field's rxrate, flag's RX_BITRATE — that's just how she is, don't question it 🦋)
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE — the txrate value is valid.
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_RX_PACKETS — the rx_packets value is valid. packets! coming in! 📦
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_PACKETS — the tx_packets value is valid. packets! going out! 📦
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_RETRIES — the tx_retries value is valid. we tried again. and again. iconic persistence 💪
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_TX_FAILED — the tx_failed value is valid. it flopped. we're tracking it anyway 😭
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_STA_FLAGS — the sta_flags value is valid. flags inside flags, it's very meta of her 🎀
  • QLINK_STA_INFO_NUM — -- undescribed --. the man page literally has nothing for her. she's a mystery. she's a number. she's the number. let her be 🧚

💜 Description 💜

so what does this enum actually do, you ask? it's the validity checklist, fr fr — it's used to indicate which statistics values in struct qlink_sta_stats are valid.

and the individual values? they get used to fill a bitmap, and that bitmap rides along in a payload of QTN_TLV_ID_BITMAP. so like, one pretty little bitmap, carried in a payload, saying "these stats are real, those ones are a vibe and nothing more" ✨
