ieee80211_is_pspoll(9)

💖 ieee80211_is_pspoll(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ieee80211_is_pspoll(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby function but it's lowkey iconic, so let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_is_pspoll — the vibe check that tells you if a frame is IEEE80211_FTYPE_CTL && IEEE80211_STYPE_PSPOLL 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ieee80211_is_pspoll (__le16 fc );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fc — the frame control bytes, in little-endian byteorder 🦋 (yes, little-endian, don't do endian crimes, iykyk)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns whether or not the frame is a PS-poll frame 👑 that's it, that's the whole answer, no cap

lowkey the most important part: this page lives under ./include/linux, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed as ieee80211_is_pspoll(9) — so if you need to cite it, that's the receipts 🧾

okay that's the whole page bestie, go check your frame control bytes and slay 💅💖 🦋
