✨ ieee802154_get_fc_from_skb ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about pulling one specific little field out of a packet. lowkey iconic, highkey niche. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee802154_get_fc_from_skb — literally just: get the frame control field out of an skb. that's the whole job. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

__le16 ieee802154_get_fc_from_skb (const struct sk_buff *skb );

so it hands you back a __le16, and it takes exactly one thing: a const struct sk_buff *. simple. clean. we stan a one-argument function 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the skb where the frame control field will be get from ✨ yeah, "will be get from" — the grammar is giving what it's giving, but the meaning is crystal: this is the packet you're grabbing the frame control field out of. that's it, that's the argument.
