ieee80211_mle_type_ok(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Hii bestie! This is ieee80211_mle_type_ok(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole job is to validate multi-link element type and size. That’s it. That’s the vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ieee80211_mle_type_ok (const u8 *data , u8 type , size_t len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — pointer to the element data. Yep, a pointer, bestie — it’s pointing at the element data, not carrying the whole thing around itself. 🫶
• type — the expected type of the element. Type check energy. 💅
• len — length of the containing element. Gotta know the size, no cap. 📏

💅 RETURN 💅

It returns a bool answering whether or not the multi-link element type matches and size is OK. So basically: type match + size OK = the vibe check result. ✅💀
