π ieee80211_has_morefrags β kernel API manual, section 9 π
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. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
ieee80211_has_morefrags β check if IEEE80211_FCTL_MOREFRAGS is set
likeβ¦ that's the whole job. it checks if the bit is set. that's it. and we stan a function that knows its purpose. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
fcβ 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. π
β RETURN β
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. β¨
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
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. π
ngl this page is short but it ate. one argument, one return value, zero confusion. periodt. π
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! ππ§π
