ieee80211_is_assoc_resp(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… ieee80211_is_assoc_resp β€” from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, this is ieee80211_is_assoc_resp(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the tiniest little vibe-check function in the whole 802.11 friend group 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_is_assoc_resp β€” check if IEEE80211_FTYPE_MGMT && IEEE80211_STYPE_ASSOC_RESP

like. that's it. that's the whole job. it looks at a frame and goes "mm, management type, assoc-resp subtype? yes queen" πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ieee80211_is_assoc_resp(__le16 fc);

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fc β€” the frame control bytes, and they are in little-endian byteorder ngl, do NOT forget that part, it's giving endianness and endianness does not play πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

returns whether or not the frame is an association response. that's the whole answer. bool. yes or no. slay πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

okay this is the part where I introduce you to the entire extended family, because ./include/linux/ieee80211.h? that kernel file? it is packed with cousins. like, this function literally has 78 relatives and they ALL want to be mentioned at the function reunion 😭

and the kernel file they all live in is ./include/linux/ieee80211.h β€” go say hi to them, they're all so iconic in their own little ways πŸ’œ


lowkey that's the whole page bestie, no cap. one function, one __le16, one bool. short king energy πŸ”₯

okay so that's a wrap on ieee80211_is_assoc_resp(9) from the ./include/linux source, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, bye, go check some frame control bytes πŸ’‹πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
