ENUM WIPHY_VENDOR_COMMAND_FLAGS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 enum wiphy_vendor_command_flags(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for enum wiphy_vendor_command_flags, and it's genuinely not that deep, but it is important. These are, like, the validation flags for vendor commands. Yes queen, we're doing enum lore today 🎀

🌸 NAME

enum wiphy_vendor_command_flags — validation flags for vendor commands, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

enum wiphy_vendor_command_flags {
    WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_WDEV ,
    WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_NETDEV ,
    WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_RUNNING

};

look at her go 😭 three little constants, all vibes, all doing their job.

🦋 CONSTANTS

okay so this is the part where each flag gets its moment in the spotlight, and honestly? they all ate 🫶

  • WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_WDEV — vendor command requires wdev. that's it, that's the whole thing. no wdev, no command, simple as 💀
  • WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_NETDEV — vendor command requires netdev. same energy, different struct, iykyk 🌈
  • WIPHY_VENDOR_CMD_NEED_RUNNING — the interface/wdev must be up & running. lowkey the most demanding one of the trio 👑
🚨 and bestie, listen to me: this one must be combined with _WDEV or _NETDEV. it does not fly solo. ever. no cap. it's giving "i refuse to be perceived alone" 😭

that's part one, don't go anywhere 🌸

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

okay so this is the part where the page is like "bestie, here's the entire friend group, go say hi" 🫶 and it's a long list — we're talking full-on link city, no skips, no "etc.", no cutting corners. it all lives in the kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, and then it's just reference after reference. deep breath, we're going in 💅✨

okay we're like a third of the way in and honestly? respect for still scrolling 💖 the list literally does not stop and neither do we:

like, this is genuinely the main character energy of cross-reference lists 😭 no cap, every single one is here:

still with me? iconic behavior honestly 🎀 finishing strong:

and that's the whole cross-reference moment 💜 not a single one left out, because we don't do that to the besties. keep reading, there's more page waiting for you 🦋✨

...and the rest of the reading list, bestie — no cap, this is the full roster and you're gonna want to bookmark it 💅

a little set/isset duo, they're giving matching outfits 🦋

That's the whole squad, fr fr — like forty-leven cross-references and every single one kept its invitation 🌸 nobody got left on read.

Tip from your girl: this list is literally just pointers to other pages. Read the one you actually need, bestie, don't try to binge the entire kernel in one night 😭 your sleep schedule is not a kernel panic.

And that's a wrap on this whole page, periodt 🎀 it came at you from source ./include/net, stamped October 2026 in the version slot, and yes that footer is the last line of the page — so consider it the cute little signature at the bottom of the letter 💌 go be obsessed, stay hydrated, and may all your structs be initialized 🫶💜
