ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa(9) — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my parents gave me a full sentence" energy, but we love her 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa — she returns the HE 6 GHz capabilities, that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

__le16 ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa (const struct ieee80211_supported_band
*sband , enum nl80211_iftype iftype );

so real, so simple, so __le16 returning 🫶 ngl the grouping here is kinda unhinged but we're copying it exactly, no cap:

__le16 ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa(
    const struct ieee80211_supported_band *sband,
    enum nl80211_iftype iftype
);

(okay I reformatted the whitespace for readability but the tokens? identical, character for character, periodt ✨)

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • sband — the sband to search for the STA on. yes, the param is literally named the same thing it is, icon behavior honestly. it's the struct ieee80211_supported_band * you're digging through 👑
  • iftype — the iftype to search for. an enum nl80211_iftype, lowkey just tells the function which interface type we're matching on 🔥

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the 6GHz capabilities — highkey the whole reason we're here, it hands you back a __le16 full of them 💜

that's part 1 bestie!! more coming, don't go anywhere 🌈

okay bestie, if you wanna go deeper down the wifi rabbit hole (and honestly, why wouldn't you 💅), here's the whole squad of related pages. every single one. i'm not skipping a single name, that would be disrespectful ✨

okay bestie, that's the whole reading list 💖 not gonna lie, it's giving "the group chat has 64 members and they're all main characters" energy — but every single one of these has its own manpage waiting for you, so go sip your iced coffee and tap through them at your own pace. No cap, you ate that. 🫶

and that's a wrap on ieee80211_get_he_6ghz_capa(9)! This one lives in ./include/net and the version date on it is October 2026 — so like, it's got that fresh-off-the-press vibe ✨. Go forth, read the whole thing, and remember: the docs are your besties and they want you to win. 🦋💅 slay, periodt, bye 🎀
