ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa(9) 🌸

okay so this one is from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel land, you know the vibe) and honestly it's a little cutie. bestie, it's ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa and it initializes NoA tracking data from a P2P IE. that's the whole assignment, and it ate 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa — initialize NoA tracking data from P2P IE 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa (const struct ieee80211_p2p_noa_attr *attr ,
struct ieee80211_noa_data *data , u32 tsf );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

three little besties walk in, and each of them has a job:

  • attr — the P2P NoA IE. yes, that's the actual information element being fed in. this is the main character of the whole function ngl 👑
  • data — the NoA tracking data. this is where stuff gets written to, so it's giving "receptacle" energy 🫶
  • tsf — the current TSF timestamp. it's the clock, it's the moment, it's the when ⏰

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it hands back the number of successfully parsed descriptors. that's it, that's the return value — a count, no cap 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this part is long but every single one of these is a real reference and i'm not about to ghost any of them, so buckle up bestie 💀

aaaand that's the page!! if you ever need ieee80211_parse_p2p_noa at 3am, you know where to find her 💜

this little gem lives in the Kernel file ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future icon behavior honestly. byeee bestie, go parse some NoA descriptors ✨🎀🦋
