ieee80211_it...stations_mtx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to ieee80211_it...stations_mtx(9) — the Kernel API Manual page for ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx, aka the "go walk all the stations for me" function 💅 literal station-iteration royalty, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx (struct ieee80211_hw *hw , void
     (*iterator)(void *data, struct ieee80211_sta *sta) , void *data );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — the hardware struct, and yes it's the one whose interfaces you're iterating over 🫶 like, this is the whole universe we're walking through.
  • iterator — the iterator function you want called. you bring the callback, she brings the stations ✨
  • data — the first argument that gets handed to your iterator function. it's your little bag of snacks for the journey 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function iterates over all the stations associated with a given hardware that are currently uploaded to the driver, and calls the callback function for each one of them 💫 that's it, that's the whole vibe — a little conga line of stations and your callback saying hi to every single one.

Important: this version can only be used while holding the wiphy mutex 🔒 like, that's the entire personality of the _mtx suffix, bestie. don't try it without the mutex, that's not a slay, that's a crash 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives at ./include/net/mac80211.h and there is sooooo much more lore where this came from 👑 here's the whole extended universe:

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this lore drop came from ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — the ieee80211_it...stations_mtx(9) era, iconic behavior honestly 💖✨ go hold that wiphy mutex and iterate responsibly, mwah 😭👑
