ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper(9)

🌸 ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper — the little helper that goes and fetches you the 6 GHz operation field. yes, the whole page is literally just that, and honestly? iconic. short, sweet, does one thing. we love a lowkey function that knows its purpose 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const struct ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper * ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper (const
struct ieee80211_he_operation *he_oper );

like, you hand it a pointer and it hands you back a pointer to the 6 GHz operation field. that's it. that's the vibe 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• he_oper — the HE operation element. and listen, this is the important part, no cap: it must be pre-validated for size before you pass it in. like, you gotta do your homework first, the function is not gonna size-check it for you 😭 also it may be NULL, which is fine, it's allowed, we don't judge 🫶

---

💖 RETURN 💖

a pointer to the 6 GHz operation field ✨ … or NULL. that's the whole range of outcomes. either you get your field or you get NULL, and honestly same tbh 💀

bestie reminder: he_oper needs its size validated before you call this. not after. before. please. 🙈

and that's the page!! short king behavior honestly 👑 this was the ieee80211_he_6ghz_oper(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, sourced from ./include/linux, dated October 2026. slay, go read your headers, mwah 🍓💖✨
