💅 ieee80211_is_qos_nullfunc(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — the manual name is literally ieee80211_is_qos_nullfunc(9) and yes she's giving very specific, very niche, very iconic kernel-helper energy. 🎀 You know those tiny one-line helper functions that just quietly do one job in the networking stack? Yeah. That's her. And honestly? She ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_is_qos_nullfunc — check if frame is a QoS nullfunc frame 💖

like not "decode it", not "parse it", not "do anything to it". just. check. if it is. that's the whole gig. and she does it flawlessly. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ieee80211_is_qos_nullfunc (__le16 fc );

that's it, that's the whole function. one argument in, one bool out. no cap, she is lowkey the most unbothered function in the header file. 🌈

🌼 ARGUMENTS 🌼

  • fc — frame control bytes in little-endian byteorder 🫶

so you're passing in those two little frame-control bytes, but remember bestie: little-endian byteorder — she's specific about that, don't come at her with your host-endian nonsense 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns whether or not the frame is a QoS nullfunc frame 💀

that's the whole answer. yes or no. true or false. a bool. she's a main character who simply does not do ambiguity. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this is the part where she name-drops literally everyone she knows. grab a snack, this list is long 🍓 — and it's all from the kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211.h:

bestie i'm not gonna lie, that's seventy-something entries. she knows everyone. she's the social butterfly of ieee80211.h and honestly? respect. 🧚‍♀️

okay that's the whole page!! 🎀💜

this lil legend lives in the kernel source over at ./include/linux (kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211.h, if you wanna go say hi 🦋), and the manual itself is dated October 2026. go forth and check your frames, bestie — slay 💅✨🌸
