okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about grabbing a channel struct out of a wiphy when you know the frequency. lowkey iconic kernel behavior, no cap 💅

💖 NAME 💖

ieee80211_get_channel — get the channel struct from wiphy for a specified frequency ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie, the signature is literally this, character for character:

struct ieee80211_channel * ieee80211_get_channel (struct wiphy *wiphy , int freq );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • freq — the center frequency (in MHz) of the channel. yes, MHz, keep it exact 🫶

🎀 RETURN 🎀

you get the channel struct from wiphy at freq. that's the whole return vibe ✨
