ieee80211_has_morefrags(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… ieee80211_has_morefrags β€” kernel API manual, section 9 πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to ieee80211_has_morefrags(9) from the Kernel API Manual. this is a tiny little helper that lives in the wireless headers and it does exactly one (1) thing, and honestly? it does it flawlessly. main character energy: minimal, focused, no notes. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_has_morefrags β€” check if IEEE80211_FCTL_MOREFRAGS is set

like… that's the whole job. it checks if the bit is set. that's it. and we stan a function that knows its purpose. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ieee80211_has_morefrags (__le16 fc );

literally just hand it the frame control bytes and it hands you back a bool. no drama, no side quests, no allocation. 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fc β€” the frame control bytes, in little-endian byteorder. yes, little-endian, bestie, keep that in mind, the byteorder is not a vibe you can just ignore. πŸ™ˆ

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns whether or not the frame has more fragments β€” i.e. whether the more frags bit is set. true = more frags, false = no more frags. that's the vibe check. ✨

pls go read the kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211.h β€” it's the source of truth and it's lowkey iconic. and then there's the whole extended friend group, the entire ieee80211 family, all invited to the group chat:

like, that's the whole friend group. go say hi. πŸ’–


ngl this page is short but it ate. one argument, one return value, zero confusion. periodt. πŸ’…

okay that's the page!! this came from ./include/linux and it's tagged October 2026 β€” so like, mark your calendars bestie, and go check that more frags bit. mwah! πŸ“πŸ§šπŸ’œ
