πŸ’… iwl_beacon_time_mask_low(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is a tiny little helper from the iwlwifi world and honestly it's giving "small function, big job" energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME

iwl_beacon_time_mask_low β€” the mask of the lower 32 bit of beacon time πŸ”₯


✨ SYNOPSIS

u32 iwl_beacon_time_mask_low (struct iwl_priv *priv , u16 tsf_bits );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS

  • priv β€” pointer to iwl_priv data structure πŸ‘‘ like, it's the whole driver's little home base, and this function just needs a pointer to it.
  • tsf_bits β€” the number of bits need to shift for masking πŸ™ˆ (yes the original description really does end with a stray ), and we respect the icon for it πŸ’€) β€” so basically, how far we're shifting before we mask.

πŸ’– RETURN

the low 32 bits of beacon time mask ⭐ that's the whole vibe check, it returns a u32, no cap.
