unsigned int ieee80211_get_num_supported_channels (struct wiphy *wiphy );

so you hand it a wiphy, and it hands you back an unsigned int. no drama, no cap. clean little transaction fr fr ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • wiphy — the wiphy. that's the argument. that's the whole list. one (1) wiphy, and it is the wiphy 🫶

👑 RETURN 👑
