ieee80211_is_reassoc_req(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… ieee80211_is_reassoc_req β€” from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, this is ieee80211_is_reassoc_req(9) and it's genuinely one of those tiny little helper functions that does exactly one thing and does it slay. it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's basically a vibe check for a single frame type πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_is_reassoc_req β€” check if IEEE80211_FTYPE_MGMT && IEEE80211_STYPE_REASSOC_REQ

no literally that's the whole job. it's giving "is this thing a reassociation request or not" and honestly? iconic 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ieee80211_is_reassoc_req (__le16 fc );

that's it, that's the whole signature, one argument and a bool back πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • fc β€” frame control bytes in little-endian byteorder 🧚

like, the raw frame control field, little-endian, no cap. that's what you hand over.


πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

whether or not the frame is a reassociation request ⭐

true if it is, false if it's not β€” it's a yes/no girlie, she doesn't do essays πŸ’…
