mlme_reset_request_sync(9)

💅 mlme_reset_request_sync(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the ca8210 driver, the IEEE 802.15.4 life has chosen you, and you need an MLME_RESET_request/confirm done exactly the way the API Spec says it should be done. That's this function. It's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u8 mlme_reset_request_sync(u8 set_default_pib, void *device_ref);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• set_default_pib — this one sets the defaults in the PIB. That's it, that's the whole errand. 🫶
• device_ref — a "nondescript pointer" to the target device. Nondescript!! The man page literally said it, not me. It's just a pointer to whatever device you're pointing at, no further notes. 🙈

---

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns the 802.15.4 status code of MLME-RESET.confirm. That's the receipt, bestie — check it. 💅
