ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(9)

✨ ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel gang 💅) and it's about one tiny little function that pulls the MLD ID out of a multi-link element. short king behavior, but make it iconic 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id — bestie, it returns the MLD ID 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u8 ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id (const u8 *data );

that's it. one function, one argument, no drama. periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — pointer to the multi-link element. like, the element. the one you want the MLD ID out of. hand it over and she'll do her thing 💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it gives you back the MLD ID in the given multi-link element, or 0 if not present.

so if it's missing you get a 0 and not a crash — she's chill like that 🙈

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

kay so here's the tea ☕: this function assumes the element is of the correct type (BASIC) and that it's big enough. it does not verify either of those for you — that's your job, bestie, and you gotta do it with ieee80211_mle_type_ok. no cap. check before you call, or the vibes (and your memory safety) will be off 😭

⚠️ warning from your girl: the element is assumed to be of the correct type (BASIC) and big enough — this must be checked using ieee80211_mle_type_ok. don't skip the vibe check, fr fr 💀
