okay so first things first, the manual page you're looking at is lbs_get_rssi(9) β€” that's section 9, the Kernel API Manual, iykyk. it's a kernel function, not a command you type into your shell, so don't go trying to run it, bestie 😭


✨ NAME ✨

lbs_get_rssi β€” literally just gets you the current RSSI and the noise floor πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int lbs_get_rssi (struct lbs_private *priv , s8 *rssi , s8 *nf );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • priv β€” a pointer to a struct lbs_private structure, aka the main character of this whole operation πŸ’…
  • rssi β€” on successful return, this holds the signal level in mBm. yes, mBm, that's milli-decibel-milliwatts, she's fancy ✨
  • nf β€” on successful return, this holds the Noise floor. the literal background noise of your wifi moment 🫢

πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

returns the channel on success, and error on failure. that's the vibe check β€” either you got the channel or you didn't 😀


πŸŽ€ SEE ALSO πŸŽ€
