IEEE80211_DDB(9)

💅 ieee80211_ddb(9) — 802.11 ddb support, bestie edition ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ieee80211_ddb — literally the 802.11 ddb support, no cap 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Bestie, you gotta have this option turned on:

options DDB

Then these ddb commands are yours to slay with:

show vap [addr]
show all vaps
show com [addr]
show sta [addr]
show statab [addr]
show mesh [addr]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the net80211 layer ships with ddb(4) support for showing off the important data structures 👑. This is highkey important because wireless applications are often built for embedded environments 😭 — and in those setups, cross-machine or post-mortem debugging facilities like kgdb(1) (ports/devel/gdb) are just not feasible, fr fr.

The most commonly used command is this icon:

show all vaps/a

✨ It dumps the contents of all ieee80211vap, ieee80211com, and ieee80211_node data structures in the system. ✨ It’s giving “show me everything, main character energy” 💅💖
